ewysock · 02-26-2009, 06:58 AM

Bought my first Boxster a 2000 the other week and the handbrake doesn't work. It was upgraded to S brakes and the shoes don't even come close to the internal drum on the rotor. I read about a special Brembo rotor and maybe a mod that could solve the problem but can't find any specific informaton. Need new rear pads so I was planning to replace the rotors anyway. HELP - I want to drive and I can't get inspection stickers without it working. thanks, Ed
