Hi, never really posted on here but there seems to be alot of technical knowledge here so seems a good place to look for help!

The car is a 99 2.5, she does alot of trackdays and alot of driving at the Nurburgring where she can get round in just over 9 mins. :D

I am really struggling with the brakes and in particular deposits on the discs leading to lots of vibration through the pedal. I know its deposits because after a trackday the deposits will slowly wear off and the brakes will return to normal until the next trackday. I have tried all sorts of pads from the standard textars to Pagid RS14's and nothing works.

I have now decided to bite the bullet and upgrade the brakes to "S" specification.

So the question is - Will the Boxster S / 996 Calipers and discs (rotors) bolt straight on front and rear or do I have to change hubs etc?

EBAY LINK

Has anyone come accross these before?, the exchange rate makes them quite tempting ;)

Hi Manny,

Did you notice these are not Brembos? If I were to go for a brake upgrade, I would most likely try to get the Brembo (OEM) calipers...

Anyone else?

Best,

Gus

Insite did a brake upgrade on his 2.5 and I think it was a direct bolt on of 996 discs and calipers on the front. Brakes are one area I would not consider using ebay knock offs. :o Porsche OEM brakes are the best in the business.

I have got hold of some Genuine 996 calipers for a great price :D

I would like to get them repainted, refurbed with new seals etc, anyone know a company who I can post them to to get this done within the UK?
