Upgrading to Boxster S Brakes and Rotors

I recently came across some Boxster S Calipers that were being scrapped because they where abused at the track. Purchased the rebuild kits thru Porsche and looking to rebuild them and install them on my Box. Has anyone done this upgrade and if so was there an information source you used? :dance:

I have the new Boxster S rotors front and rear, and all hardware for the calipers.

The fronts are a direct bolt on with a base level Boxster, the rears will not fit without considerable work and expense because the base level cars used different rear carriers and e-brakes than the S model did. To get the rears to fit, you need to swap out the rear carrier assemblies and e-brake for the S style units, not a small or cheap project................
