wtd -boxter caliper info

[60vert]

For the rear I used the 944 20mm thick rear disc.

For the fronts I used the 3.2 carrera front disc which is 24mm thick.

There is a small discrepancy in the radius of the 944 disc vs the boxster disc. This can be accomadated for by dropping the caliper down a little bit. THis is done in the measuremants of the adapter block.

hope this helps

Did you measure the lengths of the pistons in the calipers? Are the discs the same thickness as the boxters?

I will be needing 24mm for the back and 28mm for the front. I don't want my brake pistons falling out when the pads get worn!

for the 28mm disk i would use a pair off the front of a porsche 944 turbo, just got a set of these for mine,

I spoke to Mike Ghia and he thought 1986 944 turbo for the front as this was a one year only with thick discs which still mount from the rear (I have early 944 hubs).
For the rear he suggested 928 S2/4 discs.

I still want to confirm these thicknesses or if anyone else can?

Cheers,

ah sorry I cant help, I have the top hat style disks.

ah just remembered, this disk conversion for the 944 as sold by the porscheshop.com uses porsche 911 disks, dont know the thickness of hand but if they are selling kits using them, they must know what they are doing.
this was on ebay a few weeks back

I think that your disc thickness depends on the style caliper that you use. I used the Boxster monoblocks (black in color). The correct disc thickess for these disc is 24mm front and 20mm rear. The boxster S may use a rotor of bigger thickness. I am sure that the rotors I have are the correct ones for the calipers I am using because there are these little posts that the pads sit on. The spacing between these two points is around 26mm so it only aloows for the 24mm thick rotor. The distance between the posts in the back is like 22mm so it only allows for the 20mm rotor. Again, like I said things may be different for the Boxster S calipers. I can get part numbers and a couple picts if you are interested.

These are my 996 calipers:



I believe they are the same as Boxster S
I'll measure between the posts..
