[s-cars] Boxster vs. bigger brakes

[Taka Mizutani]

Cody-
1st gen. CTS-V calipers are the same as Volvo V70R, Mitsubishi Evo and
Subaru STi calipers- Brembo 4 piston that take around a 320x30mm rotor. Mine
take 322x32mm rotors, so there are small differences between the calipers
(the STi caliper is on a 320x30mm rotor).

You'll need 17" wheels to clear that caliper- they're too tall in profile.

You want 993tt calipers to run under a 16" wheel- they barely fit, but
they're worth it. Also much easier to change pads with the 993tt caliper due
to the spring clips vs. two dowels and cotter pins.
