Thanks for the link but I am not able to check that ad on rennlist, I think its because I just registered about a week or so ago. I dont know anything about that kit which is why I am just looking for regular swap if possible and that way I know what I am getting upfront...

 

Youhave to be a paying member to see classifieds. I'd be carefull buying offbrand junk from china.

 

Appreciate it, I finally found the ad through google search so I guess I may just have to explore the Cayenne route on my own here... Thanks

 

There is already a big brakes kit available for the 930 that I am aware of using Cayenne calipers/rotors, hoping I can get it also for the Boxster

Call Pedro at Pedro's Garage (google him). Very good guy and a Box specialist. He will tell you how to go about the Cayenne brakes if that is what you really want to do.

 

Appreciate that! I will give it a shot

 

I'm just trying to understand what your goal is here... if it's for more stopping power, you don't necessarily need a brake overhaul. With some upgraded pads, and maybe some better brake fluid, you shouldn't have any problems. If you're looking for "looks", I think you should go big brake kit. They look clean, and will actually retain some resale value for later. If you "mickey mouse" this job, it may look cheesy and you'll end up spending more later. Good luck!

 

The two 10mm hex bolts that mounts the caliper to the hub is 63 ft-lbs on the Boxster. Same for Cayman.

 

I would speculate OP is looking to fill out the dead space when the 20" wheels go on the car. Visually, the OE 13" rotors brakes will look like little buttons with respect to the 20" wheels.

I know most of us know this,... a bigger rotor/caliper setup does not necessarily translate into shorter stopping distance. I suppose if you are doing endurance racing, the larger rotors/calipers will work better... For short tracks (e.g., DE's) the larger rotors and pads will take longer to heat up to their operating temp to be effective. So, you will need to brake early to heat things up and keep them there (which sort of negates point of threshold braking)... but I digress.

 

and add some serious un-sprung weight for essentially no reason.

 

You may find that the caliper bolt spacing on the 986 hub carrier wont be the same to accomodate 6 pots or Cayenne calipers. Even if you fabricate spacers (not a good idea) the disk offset will be diffrerent by a couple of mm.
