Looks like I may be able 2 purscash some boxster brakes, 4 the same price 2 change my front discs and pads. I understand a bracket is needed. These are sold at the Porsche shop. The upgrade in disc size is 284-318 and from 2 pot -4 pot |

Would be better off using Boxster S brakes |

From what I understand boxster brakes can be fitted with propose built adpaters. Not so sure they take the S range. However the disc prices seem 2 be similar if not cheaper then 944 S. |

Also watch the size of calipers as they may not fit inside your wheels, I know yours are 18s so shouldn't be a problem |

I understand 2 change 2 4pot turbo or s2 brakes you need 2 change hubs? Would it be possible 2 change hubs with a boxster or later modle? Would u be able 2 run the front arms? Or whatever else is nessery 2 ensure longlivety with 18" wheels? Are boxster callpers steel or alley? |

when i was upgrading my 924, i used 924S front hubs the adaptor brackets from porscheshop and 4 pot calipers from a 996, which are the same as fitted to the boxster S. as i was keeping the 15" wheels the 996 front caliper would not fit inside the wheel (fractionally to large) , if you have 16" wheels they will fit . other 15" wheels might take the front calipers it may just be the inside shape of the 924 turbo wheels i used. so i used the 996 rears on the front of the 924 and the difference in braking is great, they were a big improvement over the standard calipers, and look cool through the wheels. |

So rears are will work on front and front on rears? If nessery. Were the rears smaller then the front s? Or same. Do you have the part number, as I found that both s and non s start 996. Thanks, so the Porsche shop brackets will work 4 s as well as n/a boxster. How did u find the brackets 4 the money? Is it something that could easily be made up? |
