look at porsche clubs for classifeds or ebay... i missed out on set on cayenne front brakes off ebay for $890 dollars... was a steal really but missed it...
remember though.. porsche brakes means bigger wheels with lower offset (potentially spacers need to be added), spare wheel wont fit anymore and you may lift back wheels when braking (joke)Comment

if you can find your carriers, you will need braided lines. apart from that you wont have clearance issues provided your buying the correct calipers that you need and using the right components.
shouldnt cost you more then $2k if u knew what uw ere doing.
plenty of bbk on ebay, and ecs etcWhat’s behind you doesn’t matter..Comment

so your saying i can run the standard 17" with porsche brakes and not have any clearance issues with the new porsche calipers?
i just havent seen it done... best i have seen is RS4 brakes and 18" huffs plus spacer... my mate had the brembo brakes with ott. wheels in 19"s and had clearance issues with thoses.. needed a spacer to get them to clear in the front...
can you get some more info up on this being able to work... i would be very interested...Comment

just search around and you'll get what you need :pWhat’s behind you doesn’t matter..Comment

just depends on the caliper dude, if its a 99 boxter caliper then yes it will fit under 17's but a cayenne or 911 caliper will not they will need a minimum of 18" again depending on the caliperOriginally posted by byza View Post
(actully it can but you have to shave alot of the caliper away for it to fit but i couldnt bring myself to do that to them
)
*ive already got cayenne turbo calipers for my next project
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
