Great pictures. How are those big GT3 brakes working out? Can you feel a big difference between them and the stock Boxster S (996 brakes) ? I'd like to do that mod myself once my budget allows for it.

Yeah they are awesome, very very strong and no fade at all despite several long track sessions. The only issue, as I discovered recently, is that to install them the guys at Ninemeister use the 996 GT3 MK2 front hubs, this is fine but changes the offset of the front wheels from 55 to 40. My BBS replicas are fine but my OEM wheels wouldnt clear without spacers. I didnt have any so have done the last few track events using my road wheels.

I am just pricing up some new track wheels and will have them custom made for offset, I am not a big fan of spacers.

Oh, I just noticed you have the roll bar extender, can you run that with the standard top and with the trim pieces and wind deflector. I notice yours seems bare

Cheers
