very reasonable and rear uses stock rotors.
im thinking about going this direction whenever i have to up-size my wheels.
I've been talking to Lanner for 4 MONTHS about getting me adapters and he finally got some made...So I went with Rob instead. Lanner kept giving me the run around, " oh Ill have them in two weeks, ok this date, sorry now this date, etc" it went on for 4 MONTHS. The adapters were all I was waiting on to finish my brake build. I talked to Xschop, they were in the mail the very next day.

I got very poor service from vdubengineering, I would be careful ordering from them. Xschop has been a major contributing player in the community and I'll gladly pay a premium for his quality parts

Can the NA boxster calipers take a 28mm thick rotor? I know the Boxster-S calipers do as I have built a few kits with them.

I should be getting a mock-ups soon of yet another combo using the Wildwood dynapro radial mount forged calipers and a custom 302x28 rotor that I machined to fit the Early NA spindles.

I also just finished 996T calipers on 951 spindles with cayenne 330 rotors and I like the Porsche monoblocks being made now....prob is they carry Porsche $ tag

I don't think so, the internal spacing is 27 or 28mm iirc. The boxster s calipers were 4mm wider I think.

I know 1-2 mm can be ground off the inner pins on 996 calipers and wanted to know if that's the case for boxster calipers. I also may have found a 330x 28 rotor that will go over the early hub without having to machine its outer diameter.

I want to say the 996 and Boxster S have the same calipers. I bet you could ground out the normal boxster calipers, they're pretty much the same except for the stud spacing I think.

I'd love to run a bigger rotor if possible!

If you want to test the 330 rotor, its from a 2003- Cayenne REAR and coincidentally has 75mm offset.

I found some cheap 330s locally... They're for a MY 2006, same rotors? The guy confirmed they were rears.

why use the Carrera rotor, why not the 951 rotor and just change the adapter?

Has anyone tried the rear Cayenne rotor over an Early hub yet?
This would be a bolt-on break thru to an inexpensive Early big brake swap without having to machine and compromise the Early hub's strength.

Hey XS- I have 986 and 987 calipers laying around if you need any measurements, I can also get the cayenne rear rotors for measurements if need be. Just let me know what you need- shoot me a text if you still have my cell it's always the easiest.
