Saving Brembo

Nice job, looks great

I will say, that is the first time I have heard someone saying that the Boxster brakes, especially a S was unimpressive. Our brakes are f'in great!

I like it....was wondering about one of my rusty nipples

Any sealant / seal required on the outside insert or are they made for a slight interference thread fit?

Nice work!

Possibly old brake fluid could cause this kind of corrosion. Also, no anti-seize on the bleed screw threads could allow water ingress from the outside.

Where did you get the Porsche decal? Looks great!

Hello jakeru
I got the decals off ebay. Whoever they were pushed them through my door. no stamp.

Great job. When you were drilling and tapping the calipers for the inserts how did you stop the aluminum shavings from dropping inside the caliper? Or did you just use compressed air when you were finished to blow out any residue?

Hello alynch

I was not to worried about shavings as everything was washed and blown through with compressed air as you mentioned.

Hello jaykay
I used very strong thread lock, right the way down the thread. No leaks been done 5 years.

Hello JayG
Bear in mind I was using a car with brakes that had probably not been bled properly for years. Since I have done the job though they are a lot better. Having said that I still think they could be better for the car it is. If you check out Pelican Parts 101 Projects for the Boxster I think you will find Wayne said the same thing there.
