Question - 996 GT3 6 Piston 350mm Calipers

[Cartel]

In sum, may I clear the above mentioned calipers on MY03 'S?

18" or larger wheels are not problem but the mount holes are different. you will need the gt3 hubs or find a way to modify yours

[fivepointnine]

is it truly that much of an improvement over the stock S calipers/rotors with race pads?

[harryrcb]

OH yeaaaaaaaa BUT the question is why do you need more breaks. a Stock boxster S with padget or some other competition pad will stop just fine, in my case I went to a larger power plant which facilitated the need for larger brakes. I did fine with my moded 3.2 motor and stock brakes. So is it worth the money ? In my opinion stay stock unless you stick a larger carrera engine in your car.

Very well. Thank you kindly!

That is the end idea as I have already completed the greater majority of engine modifcations available for my 3.2L. To the point now wherein which I am considering opting to forced induction and/or a larger Carrera engine as you stated. Hence the idea for 996 GT3 6 piston calipers up front. Slowly but surely I am gearing her for the track as either a 996 TT or 996 C4S will be added to the stable next year.

how do you like it..?

you will also need to install the GT3 master cylinder for the larger volume of brake fluid the callipers need. Easy install.
