FW: G-60 BRAKE UPGRADE:

[Taka Mizutani]

You can do BIRA S1 with the Boxster calipers (what the heck is a Boxster
turbo?), or S3 with 996 calipers or S6 with 996tt calipers.

ECS has 993tt caliper kits, as do 2Bennett and some others.

993tt calipers will clear some 16s, as do BIRA S3.

If you're running 300mm rotors over Boxster calipers, you're better off
running early A8 rotors and TT calipers in terms of cost and parts
availability.
