This is when I looked into the part no.s which were 996.351.425 and 996.351.426. As far as I can see they are for a Boxster S, can someone confirm this?
Thanks

AFAIK, Boxster S calipers are black monoblock items. Yours are not monoblock from the pics you showed..
However, there are some 996 models that at least use the exact same rear calipers as the boxster S does. Probably the later 996 models. Rear boxster S and later 996 rotors are then 24mm thick; regular (non-S) boxster rear rotors are 20mm (and also have monoblocks)
Front 996 rotors are 28mm.
Hope this helps.

Greets,
Walter

It's all very confusing ya know. It's a long search to find the right info on Porsche calipers. But they are definitley monobloc construction, and all the part numbers are boxster S, I believe also fitted to a 996. There may be a bit of hope on the horizon, as I might be getting my hands on some 996TT calipers which will fit the discs. So a set of 4 calipers may well be up for sale, or I might sell a pair and keep 2 for the rear.

Oh, I thought the latest monoblocks didn't have a connection brake fluid pipe between the two 'halves'..(?)
They are probably painted, also just to confuse us

Mine are monoblock, black, and is seems like a stock finish. PN is the same and also have the connection pipe.
Pelican Parts confirms applications I noted above
