Thanks for the responses. I want to make sure this conversion is safe, so I would rather use the NA brakes if I have to. I did some searches on the Boxster calipers and found that I can use adapters to mount them. The only thing I saw mentioning monobloc calipers were that they were rear Boxster calipers. I assume that this would mean that I would use these rear Boxster monobloc calipers for the front and rear but can you (or anyone) tell me what year(s) I should look at?
I'm not sure what you mean by "Boxster monobloc calipers on N/A brakes". Do you mean that I can use my N/A rotors or would I need different rotors?
