Really? I'll have to double-check mine. Most cars are the opposite. You want more brake force to fronts so the rears don't lock up first.

Front and rear are different.
If you have intention of working on your car, do yourself a favor and a buy the “101 projects for your Boxster” book, or at least read the articles here: https://www.pelicanparts.com/boxster/boxster_tech.htm

Sorry, yes, fronts are larger and thicker, not rears. I had a brain fart.
