Thanks for the link.. sadly, I am not sure what I am looking at in the link. To me I see what I think are spacers. I would imagine you WOULD need Box S rotors and calipers. I don't believe you can drop spacers into the regular calipers to "widen them". In the old days, the calipers were a two pice but nowadays they are "monoblock" for increased strength.

Upgrading a Porsche is never cheap and no doubt, its part of the what, $15K price difference between an S and a Non-S.. all the little things you wouldn't think that were changed, but were.

I'm curious to hear about your entire braking component upgrade and why you are doing it! thanks.
