[s-cars] Boxster vs. bigger brakes

[Big Brake]

Because the price for one new padless caliper is $191 delivered when I
bought them in 2008 from gmpartsdirect.com
323x30 A8 rotor is available in any auto parts store. Even with CNC
operator charges on top of parts total is still less then any BIRA (or
other) closed design identically sized kit.

One may argue that of the shelf RS2 brackets, used Boxster S calipers
and odd sized European only rotor is cheaper but I wanted new and off
the shell local parts only.
