Hi mate, I got a set of carriers from a guy called Dave Brown, he was selling them on ebay but will send them free of charge to members. They look brilliant and fit perfectly :D

james, does this mean you used 996 C2 rears instead of the boxster 2.7 fronts? I take it that these are pretty much exactly the same caliper......

thats right, 996 carrera 2 rears, same as boxster fronts.

problem with fronts being the bleed nipples will be the wrong way up for the lc application with the boxter being mounted on the rears of the discs....

yeh i thought that, whereas the rears will work perfectly because they are leading fitment on the back of the 996 :) So the caliper adaptors from awesome or pure motorsport will work fine??

Thanks for your help mate, you dont know how long ive been trawling the internet trying to find somebody thats already done the same conversion im doing!

Regards, Chris.

they're going on an Audi TT 225. I've had a quick look for this Dave Brown but i cant find him anywhere, do you have a link to any of his brackets on the bay? I noticed you have a p-torque map, do you live in the midlands then?

i've got the calipers, just painting them at the mo. Got some goodridge stainless lines aswell, will these connect to the calipers ok? What banjo bolts did you use?

Regards, Chris.

which fitment goodridge do you have?

what size discs are you running on the tt 225? do they not have brembos as standard?

daveb1970 username on ukmkv1s

live in nottinghamshire, travelled to p-torque from recommendations

i had lines from badger5 on here, stainless throughout, vag to brembo connections

aslong as the goodridge are m10x1.5mm connections they will be fine.

i bought these mate: http: //cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190301597391

the 225 has 312mm discs as standard, which mate to the boxster calipers fine :), standard calipers are 1 pot vag parts bin crap.

what banjo bolts did you use to connect the ends of the stainless lines to the actual caliper?

Regards, Chris.

I don't know , my car is from 1999 , but i put the carriers and hubs from A3 PD 130hp , the carriers it's the same from audi s3 but the calipers are diferent and the discs size are 288/22mm.
I think i only need the brackets to mount the porsche calipers on my carriers .

Cheers

if the carriers are seperate from the carriers then youll be okay, but you need 312mm x 25mm discs for these to fit....

288mm by 22mm wont work on these calipers mate.
