you should be able to fit them..

Chris's I WIN GTR has porshe 8 pot brakes fitted

What Porsche has 8pot brakes???

Also if they lug type calipers they could be a lot harder to fit then radial mount type. Also keep in mind that Boxters dont use very large rotors, so depending on the rotor you want to run it may impossiblel to fit them...just do your homework !

Ive heard that once a set of porsche brakes have been 'heat cycled' they start having issues with uneven clamping pressure as the caliper start to warp and buckle. Apparently when someone is selling off second hand porsche brakes it can mean they are rooted.

Thats what the gt3 guys say around the track.

Carrera GT

Ok, so they look to use the generic 8 pot Brembo that sees use on the Audis, AMGs, Lambos etc. In which case they are radial mount and pretty universal to bolt on to other cars

The boster calipers i have seen are all lug type, so would depend ont he rotor sze you plan to run whether a bracket could be made for them.

...woudl need research, sould work well, but lookign at what the calipers are and the rotor they use, i think the more common pgrades could be more suitable

Most calipers can be mounted to any vehicle with the right radius rotor and brackets ,we do this alot .The other thing to remember is alot of porsche calipers for sale are off race cars and if they need to be reconditioned and have pads they become very expensive this is why these guys just buy new ones.Some 6pot calipers the pads are over $600 dollars to replace and the repair kits are the same especially if you need new pistons.

exactly, the porsche 6 spot monoblock calipers warp pretty easily on the track, and they are cheap to replace about 800 a side.

Im sure the boxter brakes are a different story

Correct. We recently did the brakes on our 996 cup cars. Kits, including the pistons, were $500 per side. Makes sense to just throw the whole caliper on.

      It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in

      No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
