996 Turbo brakes on a Boxster S

[mario_52]

Hello. and thank you very much to everybody who helped me out with this one, it was an opportunity to get a full set of gently used front + rear brakes from a 996 Turbo for not a huge ammount of $$. Oh well sometimes luck is not with you.

I could just swear that someone sells a kit to do this... It's not a direct bolt-on, but with a modified mount it may not be that bad. You might want to do a search on Renntech in the 996 section. The 2000 996 Carrera should have the same front brakes as your Boxster S. They may have an adapter kit for the 996 and just not push it for the Boxster.

Hmmm.... I can't exactly find it. I found that there are kits readily available to convert the Turbo Big Red Brakes to older 911's, but I didn't see anything on the Boxster. Now of course there are big brake kits for the Boxster from Brembo, and I suspect these are just the Turbo brakes with the required adapter....
