    Some great shots of brake upgrade

    I am in the middle of putting together front brake upgrade ...on my search for info came across this

    Good detail and pictures
    These are the pieces needed for upgrading a coupe from brake system to use Porsche 996 brakes. This model caliper comes on two different cars, the Porsche 996 or the Boxster S. The 996 brakes are black and the Boxster S brakes are red. It seems that you can get these calipers in silver...

    Nice to know it is being used.

        One question did it make a great difference changing the size of the disc's 314 to 323?

          I never installed the 314s. While I was in the middle of all the fit ups, I found the offsets for the 323s were the same as the 314s. Since the 314s were not centered on the pads, and the 323s were I used those and sold the 314s. It was not going to make any difference as far as wheel fitment, but I was gaining better braking by increasing the torque. Besides, here in the states, the 323s were sold on the A8s, whereas the 314s were a Euro only rotor. Made it easier getting the rotors.
