Topic: Boxster brembo calipers

[|V3nom|]

are the brembos a 4 piston?

is it just for the front or is there a rear brembo kit too?

another thought, i see that people feel there is too much front bias in the kappa.  what about fitting a front brake setup to the rear to even out the bias.  would that be too much rear bias then?  other than not having a parking brake, would there be any other problems from doing that?

There are 4 piston fronts only.  No rear kit that I know of for brembos.
TCE offers rear kits

I'm interested,

 Racer X, is there a chance I can come visit you to see this? I live off the 15(Rancho Benardo) so I'm not to far from you. Let me know.

You guys do know that a bigger brake doesn't make a Kappa stop shorter, right ?  A bigger brake provides larger thermal capacity which means braking performance doesn't fade or less likely to fade during repetitive heavy use.  That being said, a Brembo caliper does make a statement.

Bias problem is easier to tackle; install more aggressive brake pads on the less-biased end.

It all depends on how you define it.  After the stock system has faded, but the bigger brake hasn't, the kappa with the bigger brake will the stop shorter.


I have my kit due to hitting brake fade.  I now have better brake feel as well.

I understand this thank you, I already have tackled what you mentioned on the bias side of the house with  Carbotech's XP12 in the back and Hawk HPS in the front. Less brake fade is a win for me so this kit is a plus.

Would love to see some larger REAR brakes WITH e-brakes.

I'm in Norcal (Elk Grove), now but when I come through my hometown I'll hit you up.
Although I switched out for the larger diameter brake and rotor from the cobalt, the porsche is a cheap and easy alternative-

still a single piston like stock which is what were trying to get away from right?

This is what I responded to

and they are larger and are a combo E-Brake

yeah i know, i was pointing out the fact that theyre still a single piston and not much better than stock, atleast not for the money you pay.  most people dont realize that.

Yea, isn't the cobalt rotors a 12.1 compared to our. 11.6?

Think the cobalt rotors are 12.6"
