    Quattro Corner used to sell them or PM S2avant for the parts from TPS

    You can't use boxster calipers on the Avant rear, no handbrake, suitable for an RS2 however

    Plenty information available via search

        In the UK MOT you cannot have hydraulic handbrakes

              You can but there must still be a seperate action for the handbrake.

                You need a work mechanical handbrake, so you have to double engineer on the avant to have a hydraulic one for assistance only.



                Hydraulic parking brakes as a sole means of operation are not acceptable on vehicles first used on or after 1 January 1968. However, they may be used to assist the application or release of a mechanical brake.

                  Icle Birdy whispered in my ear that there may be a bracket coming for the 996 rears to bolt on to the RS2 & One is on the drawing board for an S2 Coupe!!

                        VRS / KDR do them for the 322 mm disc and the 330mm disc

                        I've seen the technical drawings

                              Would it be possible/is there space to have a bracket that mounted the 996 rear caliper AND a small mechanical handbrake?

                              Rear 996 on the 300mm discs that are machined down to 280 for the normal upgrade would be rather nice.
