When searching the part numbers they come back to Boxster S Rotors front and rear. So i know the fronts is a common upgrade, but how hard are the rears to do? it seems at some point before me the previous owner took the time to upgrade the rears as i dont believe you can simply put an "S" rotor on the rear with base calipers.
So strange, the only other mod on the car was SS brake lines, everything else is stock and the suspension part numbers match back to a base 97. It seems odd someone would go through the trouble of doing a brake upgrade like that but make no other mods to the car.
thoughts? Opinions on the brakes?

Maybe he felt like he needed more brakes!
Other than the HP increase 6 speed tranny the other really significant upgrade on the S was the brakes, probably easy mod to upgrade. Who knows what goes through different owners minds!
