  1. Hello All; I am thinking of purchasing a set of 2007 Carrera 19 inch wheels for my 01 Boxster. Any comments as to spacers and bolts? They are awesome looking wheels i believe they are called PS2 or Lobster claw. The deal is $1300 Canadian less the rubber for all 4 wheels in perfect condition. Any comments
  2. 36000km = ~22K miles. my original pads and rotors went almost 80K miles before needing replacement - and even then i could have stretched it another 3K miles. it doesn't seem likely that your car *needs* a brake job unless it has been tracked/raced/etc. now, if you *want* to change brakes for a better look, there's nothing wrong with that if you have the money. http://www.designrt.net sells Zimmerman rotors (OEM) that are cross-drilled and/or slotted for use on non-S cars. cost is approximately $350. FREE shipping, too! it doesn't look like they have the Boxster rotors listed on the website, but give them a call, they do sell them. you'll want to get the rotors with the painted rotor 'hats' so they don't rust. you can choose the color. as for pads, i use Mintex Red Box pads and you can find them on eBay for ~$50 per axle. they work great and don't dust too much. here's the link for the brake DIY: http://www.bombaydigital.com/boxster/projects/brakes/ the site above that 'eddison' pointed you to (Mike Focke's Boxster Pages) is invaluable to any and all Boxster owners - BOOKMARK IT! and the most important thing, 'Boxster' has an 'S' in it!! :D good luck! :unsure: Thanks for all the input. Boxster does have an S. oops! How can you tell i am a newbie!!! LOL. I will check out the sites. Brett
  3. Hello Everyone; I am new to the Forum and i have just purchased my first Boxter. 2001 Base. I would like to change the pads and rotors the car only has 36000 kilometers, but hte brakes need changing and are all stock. I would like to install cross drilled rotors and new pads. 1) Do i have to change the calipers from the stock setup to use cross drilled rotors? 2) any suggestions as to which parts to use? ( brand name)? Thanks Brett
