Front Brake Upgrade V70r Awd

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I posted this on my other thread but I think it got lost in all the questions I asked :ph34r:

The Porsche brakes that IPD and the likes are selling as a kit - are they off a Boxster as I have a set at my unit in the UK??

Thanks in advance and regards to all,

Rex

Aww, boo. Thanks for the reply anyway Maiku.

Is there a difference between other Porsche calipers? I've fitted a few 996 front-ends to Boxster's.....

And there was me thinking I had the parts in stock....I'm still going to measure anyway :D The spring of hope is eternal and all that...

There's no difference in caliper's between the Boxster S and 993 TT, as both vehicles are equipped with "Big Reds." If the Boxster calipers you have are the Black ones, those are simply the ones from the standard brake package, seen on the plain Boxster and 996, 993, and even 951(944 Turbo). Long story short, buy the adapter brackets and you'll be good to go!

Ahhh - I thought so :D

The red ones are 6 pots if memory serves me well, but I think they'll be the black 4 pots being a 2.5.

Expensive brackets though - and they're astute enough not to post a picture so I can't copy them :lol:

Thanks again!

I have a used set for $140.00 + shipping and they include caliper mounting bolts.

Between Boxster S and 993TT calipers, aren't the Boxster S and 996TT calipers monoblock and 993TT 2 pieces ?

I think this information has been posted a long time ago but these calipers are not the same except color.

Yes this is correct.

This is also correct.
