PM incoming Dave. Are there any fitting kits left?

Wow, just read this thread start to finish.  ANd after a few PMs from Dave I know where my money is going on brakes.

Thanks for the help Dave, just need Jonny to come back to me now

Getting confused on pads! Can someone point me in the right direction of the exact Textar Boxster pads I need for this setup? PM's welcome. Thanks peeps.

I think this is what you need but double check with someone more knowledgeable than me.

Never had as much success with textar as Porsche do with OEM heard reports of squeaky brakes. All depends on how much you save over a DS2500 I guess.

Dampeners a must with textar I would say

Brakes now ordered, let stage 2 commence

Do I have to source everything myself or can I buy everything from Dave. How much should the kit cost?

[DaveB@Vagbremtechnic]

I've got a couple of fitting kits about and also found some fitting kits which work with S3 hubs if somebody wants to do a super lightweight version.

Calipers speak to Jonny@brakecaliperrefurbs.co.uk and take a look at www.facebook.com/brakecaliperrefurbs

I speak to him a lot as he's doing a load of big stuff for me currently and he's got a STACK of Boxster fronts knocking about him after last week, some he's putting into stock for the exchange scheme and some he might part with at handy money..

Im not sure but I think that's what's Oli's doing, I drive past Jonnys place most days so can drop in a fitting kit to save on shipping. I can help with anything fast road and sillier regarding pads

AGAIN I'm not financially involved with Jonny just mega mega impressed with the stuff he's churning out

[Oli]

Yes mine are ordered from Jonny.  Just need to know if I'm going to need a spacer on the front?  anyone?

iirc you need a minimum 3mm spacer with Monzas so be prepared if you have the standard rims.

Johnnys finishing does look excellent.

Johnnys finishing does look excellent. 

Should look brand new. Just wondering whether to have Porsche, brembo or no logo on them. Think I will go the latter.

Anyone for any thoughts on spacers?

[DaveB@Vagbremtechnic]

Oli

If you get some nasty non hub centric 5mm spacers of the bay, I can supply you some Spiggot extenders that I have machined for the TTRS 8 piston setup.

So the spacers take 5mm of Spiggot away but we then add it back on.

I'd be very surprised if you needed anything more than that if anything
