Thanks everybody for the advice, I just wanted to change the brake disks to vented disks, but I would liked to be the same pattern as the S model. Its just for the look.

Not sure what the drill and slot pattern is for the S. I also have a 99 and my rotors were worn too thin so I purchased a complete set of rotors and ceramic pads on ebay for just over $200. I've been running them for over a year and over 20,000 miles, they look and work great.

Red2618,

Just run stock brakes with fresh fluid. They are really quite good and will never overheat on single lap AX runs.

For reference:
All the Boxster Spec Race cars run stock brakes to good effect. They run continuous laps from 20 min sprints to 1hr enduros no problem.
My car runs stock brakes in AX, DE, and TT with around 20 track days/yr and a handful of AX events. Brakes might be our greatest advantage in these cars.
