Interesting. I only have standard rotors with no slots.

Does anyone know how the brake pads separate from the rotors without the "mushrooms" attached to the pistons? Other cars have spring clips or similar tension mechanisms on the calipers, whereas the Boxster does not. I'm wondering how the brakes stay separate from the rotors when not braking.

Thanks again.

I have heard of people cleaning them , then inserting into the pistons before a drop of superglue before quickly inserting the pads and pressing back .
Never tried it , there where never that much to buy new .
