[s-cars] Boxster vs. bigger brakes

[LL - NY]

Thread Hijack FYI on the ECS brackets, I got replacements for my cracked
ones this year, claiming that they are a "new" design.  Other than some
graphics, it appears that they are the same old brackets. I did some quick
dial caliper measures (width could not be mic'd, due to the cracks) and
within the limits I could measure, it's the same sh_t different day. I will
be having my Rossato-binned RS2 brackets machined when my ECS/993TT rotors
wear out and never going back to the ECS stuff.
