I'm looking at putting the boxster front calipers on to my 312mm discs using the HEL brake lines and creation Motorsport adaptors

Can do this for about
£250 calipers
£50 lines
£105 adaptors

Anybody else done this and was it worth it ?
Heard using the rear 911/turbo calipers are pointless as the pistons are smaller and the larger discs are very expensive ,

Would you bother with this upgrade or just not bother ?

Depends what you are after mate, I've got the boxster rear calipers on the front with 312mm discs and good pads, much better stopping power over standard.
If you are not racing/track driving then why not try the 312mm discs with DS2500 pads and better fluid

I'm using dot 5.1 fluid and ds2500 at the moment ,
I'm doing a lot of track days at the moment inc Nurburgring

I read the rear boxster give great pedal feel but the smaller Pistons over heat after a few hard stops

I think I'll invest in the front calipers and see how it goes ,

Thanks
