my stock brakes would fade a lot at some tracks. i upgraded to boxster S / 996 brakes. the fronts are a direct bolt-on (you will of course need new rotors). the rears require either an adapter for the e-brake or a special rotor available directly from brembo. this rotor has the base 986 e-brake / hub surface with the correct offset for the 996 / S calipers.

the rear 996 / S calipers are identical except for the guide pins. the rotors are the same diameter, but are 2mm thicker. you really only need to do the fronts.

at the track, the difference is VERY noticable. on the street, stopping distances are of course the same, but the feel & modulation are superior with the upgrade. i spend a lot of time at the track; for me, this was one of my most worthwhile upgrades. they knocked over 1 sec / lap off my times at TGPR.
