Isn´t the 993 brake caliper the same as the Boxster S? What master cylinder are you using?

Some late incoming (awesome) pics from Julian Hunt (www.julianhunt.net) from the VW Action trip last september:
Yeah, I did run very low tire pressure to try get into the 11's, which worked great for 60ft times, but mph didn't move much: Last edited by Wally; December 24th 2009 at 18:14. |

Glad you like them!
To fight the X-mas boredom, I thought it would be a good idea to start the engine so the oil could flow back to the dry-sump tank after a 3 month stand-still. Oh, yeah and I had removed the silencer "honey, it is really neccessary to start the engine every 3 months or it could get stuck" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb_wzgslrLw |

Wally are those 2.7 boxster calipers or boxster S calipers you're running on the rear? What front discs are you using?
im going to try 996 calipers front and rear on mine to see how that works out. |

Those are 986 (2.5 or some early 2.7) front calipers. No Boxster S as Boxster S (987) are actually the same as 996 and have 28mm thick front rotors! I have 24mm rotors in the rear, same as front 986. See? On the front of my bug I now have 330x28mm and I use 996 front calipers for that. Originally 996 fronts are 318x28, but those calipers work very well on 330 too Progress: adapters made: |

i am going to be running the 318x28 discs on the front. Did you find much of a difference going over to the 944 mastercylinder from the beetle mastercylinder? its great learning from others' experiences on here, especially when the cars get used on the track Thanks Deano ps did you ever run rear 996 calipers? |

Sorry Deano

Most all rear porsche 4-pot calipers (including the 996 ones) have something like 28/30mm cups in them. For MY car with 245 wide semi-slick tires, that is just too little I found. Even the 993 rears I had had the largest rear cups I could find (30/34) and even that was too small on MY car. Notice I said MY car, as I am sure others will have different experiences with their cars wih different set-ups I just hope to have solved the bias with the 36/40 cups in the 986 front calipers...I'll et you know how it turns out next (track-day) season |

no worries about the name mix up lol
off the top of my head the 987 discs are 2 mm taller than the 944T discs and are cross drilled. i have a set of both so il see what works with my set up. as you say thats all for YOUR car. part of the fun with these german look cars is trying new things and finding out what works. i look forward to future updates thanks again Deano |

I´m sure that running those big 18" wheels and a 245 tire requires a much higher clamping pressure than with a 17" wheel and 225 or 235 tire.
