I'm sure those GT3 brakes are worth it. I was at an AutoCross last week and one of the guys there had a 2008 GT3. While I was admiring his car I noticed how damn big his brakes were. He said yeah, they are 380's, I guess meaning 380mm rotors. What is the spacer requirement to make these big hubs & rotors fit the Boxster? And no Master cylinder upgrade required?

I swapped the master cyl too but was told it was not strictly necessary. The wheels basically need to be similar to the 996 Mk2 GT3as that what you now have on the front. I have 8x18 ET42 with some 3mm shim spacers and am having some new ones made to ET40. I guess it depends on what your current wheels are as to what spacers you need.

I am pretty sure mine are 355mm disks but you have a 100-150kg advantage over a gt3 so there is plenty of headroom
