Just picked up the refinished front base calipers.

Interestingly, the overall size of front base caliper is near identical to the rear S caliper.

Got the rear S pads (Textar marked) & rotors from the local dealer with PCA discounts. They are asking for $25 each(!) for the Brembo-made bleeder valves so I proceed to call Suncoast and ordered thru them instead. They're willing to use USPS for medium to small items which is wonderful for us Canadians.

The rear S brake conversion is being done at a local reputable shop as we speak. I have just been told by the shop that Boxster S rear spindles are required to get the rear parking brakes to function. Thankfully I bought a used set for this project as a "just in case".

Its great that you are continuing your thread on the conversion but
I couldn't help but notice that it was a 2.5 year project?

Glad that work is not being paid by the hour. ;)
