FS: Porsche Boxster GTI brake kit. A.k.a. poor man’s BBK

[Micah247]

I have for sale two new Zimmerman GTI front brake rotors. Two Porsche Boxster front calipers with new pads and new shims and new adapter brackets to fit Volkswagen Golf. Includes all adapters and stainless steel brake lines. I purchased it years ago, but I have had it in storage because I installed a brembo kit instead. here is a screenshot to the brackets, banjo bolts and caliper bolts.



Sorry Price did change. Didn’t realize how much I paid for everything

$450.00 shipped to the lower 48

Does this replace front PP brakes? Assuming it's for a golf, probably not?

 

[Micah247]

Yes it does.

 

[Micah247]

Need to sell.

 

[9uns]

I'm interested. So if I wanted to get this to replace my front PP brakes, all I would need would be new pads?

 

[Micah247]

No the pads are included!

What rotors do you run with this setup?

 

[Micah247]

When you replace the rotors you use GTI rotors. There are a ton of write ups online on this. The only thing you have to do is swap the rigid pipes. This is because on a Porsche the caliper is set I said tell me behind the rotor. On the Volkswagen it is set in front of the rotor. Do you want two out of the four pistons to engage just slightly before the other ones too. Swapping the pipes enables this. I encourage you to read About it. It’s fascinating and tells you everything you need to know about the kit.

Are these still available?

Are you sure this uses PP size rotors?

My understanding is that this setup uses non-PP size rotors.

I could be wrong.

Works with 340 (PP) or 345mm (which is the preferred size rotor for this kit). Definitely will not fit 312mm rotors.

That's not what the apikol product page says.

I asked this question earlier . OP just said to go read up on it instead of just listing a number. If someone finds a definite answer I would live to know.

The last picture in his post is an invoice from apikol, clearly says it's for 312mm x 25mm rotor.

I think you're mistaking the Boxster and Macan calipers.

Boxster calipers work with non-pp 312mm rotors.

Macan calipers work with 340 or 345mm rotors.

They are 100% not the same calipers and these calipers will not work with 340 or 345mm rotors.
