Brake help
Hello everyone this is my first post on the 986 forum and its a Boxster 4 piston Brembo question. I've got myself some new Brembo 4 pistons (but not porsche, Maserati actually) and need help from you guys on the stock Porsche brakes for offsets. I included a picture of the measurements which I am seeking and would GREATLY appreciate it if anyone had measurements they could show me. They are measured from the center of the mounting holes (except the middle width one of course.

Before you even go there, you should be asking what is the rotor diameter and thickness for the car the calipers were made to fit. If those rotors are a different size than those on the car you are trying to fit them to, they simply will not work.

I'm completely revamping my front brakes (rotors, pads, SS lines, etc.) so I'm not too worried about that, just the offset right now. Thanks for the concern though!

I can get these measurements for you tonight. My rear calipers are off and sitting on my workbench while I'm rebuilding the rear suspension.

Why, may I ask? The stock brakes are atomic and with race pads, they are even better.

Because I don't own a Porsche, its a custom application and that's why I'm curious on the offsets before I start running around buying all the parts.

Thank you! That would be awesome, could you maybe include a picture like mine just to make it visual for me?

I would also check on rennlist - there's some serious brake guys there and the boxster brakes are very similar to the 996.

Okay. See if these three give you what you need.
