I hear from time to time that the rear rotors for these two applications are interchangeable...
True, the diameters are the same but the rotor hats are not; the 911 hat is a full 8mm taller.
This would cause the rotor to become fully engaged with the backing plate & a portion of the spindle.
Additionally the 996 rotor would not center in the Cayman/Boxster caliper preventing proper pad alignment not to mention the resulting issues with the parking brake.
