[s-cars] BBK parts accumulating

[Theodore Chen]

This is the setup that I have.  The Boxster S calipers are the 996 calipers.  No 
clearance issues with my stock 16" Fuchs wheels.

Yeah Taka,
The Boxster s brakes I saw used the 314x30 euro A8 rotors (Bira system 3).  
"System 3

Uses the Porsche 996 Carrera 4-piston monobloc caliper over the European A8 
314x30mm rotor. Fits the '92-97 S4/S6, 2C(1), '92-'94 V8(1). Fits under 16" 
wheels."

I didn't realize there was a 320mm rotor option to use.

  Are you sure you can use 996 front calipers on a 16" Avus wheel? When I had 
996 calipers over 320x30mm rotors, I did not have enough radial clearance to fit 
over 16" wheels- I tried 3 or 4 different ones, there was no way I was putting 
16" wheels on the car. Maybe with smaller 314mm rotors.

    I've seen Boxster S brakes used without a spacer with Avus.  From what I
    recall, they weren't all that close.  The thing I like about the standard
    Boxster brakes I have is the availability of stardard US A8 rotors which are
    used with this kit.
