Default Boxter brake conversion completed

This weekend I installed a BOXSTER (sorry for misspelling in thread title) Kit from Pelican Parts on my 88 Targa with stainless braided lines, adapter brackets, along with a new 930 Master Cylinder, New Carrera rotors, new Boxster calipers and pads. The new calipers were not very pretty so I painted them high temp gloss black, added Porsche decals, then sealed with several coats of high temp clear. Braking on the street feels much more refined and smooth with less effort needed than before. A worthwhile although pricy Mod.

Your calipers turned out really nice !
I was going to do the same mod on my 89 when i got it twelve years ago , had all the parts , painted the calipers red then i
sold the whole kit.
Anyhow , i ended up doing a 996TT brake upgrade after i started doing DE’s with PCA.

Cheers
Phil

Super pic, great looking car. You just talked me into dropping another $10k on mine, dammit.
