Default Boxster BBK questions...

I'm going t0 get my hands pretty soon on a pair of Boxster calipers. They only have the pins, no dampeners or pads.

Pics:




So, once I get the calipers I'll need:
A8 rotors
PureMS Brackets
Pads and dampeners
What brake lines? Could I use my stock lines?

TIA!

Lol.....I was actually considering buying that same set, but I don't know squat about brakes so I decided to pass.
Can't wait to see them on your ride.
Keep us posted with the details.

I was. And then someone posted a link to these Boxster Calipers on eBay so I checked 'em out a few days back.
And I've looked at Brembo. And Stoptech. And S6's.

All either:

1. Too expensive
2. Too involved for my skill set.

That's why I decided to leave the stock calipers and painted them in protest instead.

Piecing together the kit I figured it would cost me about $700. That lncludes all the parts needed for this upgrade. I just hope my 17x8 Mille miglias fit over the upgrade.
