Now I need to work out hub conversion parts.
btw- these are 986 boxster S brakes, not actually Big Reds, I'm going to see if I can make em work. They were a good deal, so I'll just re-sell em if they won't work.
-I believe these are 318mm rotors

those calipers are 996 monoblocs. So find any writeups having to do with 996 brake upgrades
really all you need are RS2 caliper brackets and then appropriately sized rotors.
I believe you can use the "European" A8 rotors that measure in the 318x?? range. e//S2 Ben is the only person I know of specifically who's recently fitted a 996 conversion.
Probably for the rears you'll have to devise your own bracket, as the rear calipers want about a 290x24mm disc.

here's the only thing I found on Porsche rotor specs after a pretty exhaustive search
seems to be some useful info anyway for those considering the upgrade<ul><li><a href="http://www.ppbb.com/boards/ppbbphp/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=ARCHIVES&Number=59 1678&Forum=All_Forums&Words=rotor%20size&a mp;Match=Entire%20Phrase&Searchpage=0&Limi t=25&Old=allposts&Main=591511&Search

Why do you bother with that? you can't use those rotors anyways...
unles syou are converting to RS2 hubs, which I doubt. There are more informative and more specific websites out there as well. Its all been posted here on AW 80/90 forum as well!
