Your brakes look superb! You should do a write up/article for the Tech section!
I see you stuck w/ Link Pin suspension, CB performance (lowered?) spindles.
That's my plan. I guess I'll have to stick w/ Boxster calipers to fit under my 15" fuchs.

What size rims are you going to run?

Thanks for the compliments. My 15" phonedials didn't fit so i'm going to 17" twists. I yes they are cb drop spindles, You can get away with with "certin" 15"s with a combo of spacers and "machining " calipers slightly, but not for me or my steup. Good luck with them.

i think the point is that you don't want to buy "new" ones. hit a junk yard or parts house and pick up a set of used calipers and associated hardware. you can pick up a whole set used cheaper than one caliper new.

Yes that is the point. I got my calipers,hups, backing plates, e-brake parts, everything but rotors (because i wanted new) for $700.
