Your post raises more questions than answers at this point.

What are you actually looking to do? Are you wanting pads containing ceramic material, or are you wanting to emulate the Porsche PCCB package?

I have a 2000 S which already has bigger brakes than the standard boxster, and I replaced the pads with Pagid race pads, RS-5 on the front and RS-4 Blue on the back. I also flushed the fluid at the same time. The brakes are now nothing short of amazing.

Perhaps this is an option for you? Rather than paying the $10k or so to put in the PCCB system (if this is what you were thinking??) then maybe upgrade to S calipers and rotors and get some pagid pads on the car.

Most people will tell you that this is overkill on the street (and they would be right) but if you get off on having brakes that are near impossible to fade like I do then it might be a good option. Food for thought in any case.
