converting to boxter/996 calipers

[bugsoup]

I am fitting 996 brakes all around. However, the conversion is on a standard not a super, so only the rear could be the same (if you use early aluminum 944 diagonal arms).

The rear 944 hubs are too shallow for the 996 rotors. I am having a custom spacer made that will make up for the depth difference, center the rotor properly, and allow for the correct operation of the parking brakes. When the parts are made, and I can confirm that they do in fact work as I hope, I will post the drawings and some pictures of assembly. The drwaings should be up by the end of the week if the machinist can get the spacers made, but the pictures will have to wait until I get a digital camera. (soon, I promise)

The machinist is also making spacers for front 996 rotors to properly center on 944 N/A hubs. I will also include this info when the parts are complete and installed.

Does this make any sense compared to my setup at the moment

It depends on your point of view and if you can spare the money. I decided to do this conversion because I wanted something a little different and I didn't already have any sort of conversion already. If you are happy with the performance, I would stick with what you have.

I give these 2 pennies to you. You must decide how much they are worth.
