[s-cars] anybody have any insight on putting Boxter calipers

[Greg Johnson]

Dave,

Actually, Sys 3 fits more wheels than Sys 1.   Sys 3's A8 Eurorotor lies 
closer to the strut, which moves the caliper further way from the wheel 
"spokes."

BTW, I've never used anything other the Weston Motorsport KF pads. I've 
not had any squealing from the KF street pads, however, the KF track 
pads squeal like a pig until they warm up.
