Hi,

The 996 and 986s (boxster S) are the same caliper, except the 996 comes black and 986S comes in red. The regular boxster (986) is a unique caliper and is smaller than the 996.

Use the 996 rear rotors because the 993 are a little short and the brake shoe will overhang the braking surface on the rotor. This can be corrected by machining the hub a little to get the 993 rotor to sit right. You'll need a radial to axial adapter to use the 996 calipers with your 924s backplates.

The 16" fuchs will fit if they have a 951 part number and not the 911 part number (slight difference in the spoke design to accomodate 4 piston brembo's).

I'd stay away from welding on the spindle....
