Cheers.

Hello R33P
I did my fronts last year, I put the details on the Pelican site entitled"Saving Brembo" .

What I did was, I looked at the sizes of the seals in the Porsche kits of a company called Big Red. They had none listed for the Boxster, but the seals and dust covers in one or two of the kits for other model Porsche cars were the same size as the Boxster. Have a look yourself, try here,

The Big Red looks a great option, thanks for this. genuine Bembo's are not cheap, especially when you've been a bit rough in taking them out like I have thinking they would be a couple of quid, major oversight.

I have managed to purchase all the seals bar one from BIG RED at half the cost - if you quote them the part number ref from the Brembo seal they have most of them in stock and can cross reference.

Which centric kit for a 2001 S and is the front and rear the same kit ?

Thanks

The kits are different front to back, and I could have sworn the kits were different from the base to the S model, but looking at the site they don't show a difference.

ELECTRONIC CATALOG - LOOKUP BY APPLICATION

Front: 143.37013 (each kit is enough for one caliper)
Rear: 143.37009

According to this cross reference, each kit fits a ton of models:

Front: Centric Brake, Clutch, and Bearing Parts
Rear: Centric Brake, Clutch, and Bearing Parts

I always assumed since the fronts were bigger on the S model they would have bigger parts inside. Maybe the difference is the bigger rotors on S fronts which allow greater surface for friction?
