Re: Boxster brakes for 4KQ to be done....

Rotors.....'at a cost of $500/per'..... instantly eliminates that as an
option for me. That's almost my entire budget for a whole year.....Fundsalo
Racing you know..... If I have to machine bushings for concentricity and
re-drill 5-lug to 4 I can swing that.

Thanks though!

I suppose it's theoretically possible that somewhere, somehow, someone made
a rotor that would fit all these criteria, but every other aftermarket
brake
kit I've seen or heard of (Mov'it, Todd C's, TAP's, 2B, Scott J., Mark N.)
uses an off-the-shelf racing rotor (or stock 2-piece rotor, in the case of
the porsche big red conversion) mated to a custom machined aluminum hat.
Truesports, and probably other racing shops, will be happy to make you a
rotor with integral hat to your specs, at a cost of $500/per.
Finding an ideal stock rotor would be wonderful, but whew!  A week's
wandering in an imported car junk yard might be the only way...
Love the idea of the Boxter monoblock caliper, though.
