A different aproach to front Porsche brakes
Hi
I have been doing some thinking since I finished the Porsche brakes on my bug. On the front if I did it again I would go about it another away. This applies to factory disc brake equiped cars. I would use a stock beetle rotor or drum, remove the braking surface, then use this as a mounting flange for Boxster rotor, use a Boxster caliper, these have a radial mounting bolt, have a square alloy block made up to bolt to the factory caliper mounting points and then the Boxster caliper bolts onto the alloy block. You would get a small track increase using Beetle rotor as thick as the mounting flange and lesser increase using a Beetle drum as they give a smaller track from the factory. The increase in track would only be the thickness of the mounting face on the Boxster rotor x 2. I dont have any Boxster parts to measure up, Im sure this could be made to work, does anyone have any dimesions of the Boxster rotor? I know they are 298 mm x 24 mm but I dont know the depth of them.
