Aaron Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Hey guys, so as some of you know, I am doing a front brake upgrade to the Porsche Boxster 4 piston Brembo calipers. Take a look below and let me know how easy the bracket would be to modify? Stock S pads: http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRH6ODQqoLJ-RM0CakpWdyR4rw3YXWz1misx1eyYbXmjNDsYzwY Roughly modified S pads to mirror the Standard Boxster pad: http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/A4SHO/Workingonthecar025.jpg Stock pad: http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/A4SHO/Workingonthecar023.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/A4SHO/Workingonthecar022.jpg S Pad: http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/A4SHO/Workingonthecar029.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/A4SHO/Workingonthecar028.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/A4SHO/Workingonthecar026.jpg So the obvious thing to do would be to lower the ledge that the pads sit on, however: http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/A4SHO/Workingonthecar030.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r247/A4SHO/Workingonthecar031.jpg There is essentially no room, as I wouldn't feel comfortable with a pad that was any closer to the bracket. It does look that if the pad opening on the bracket was widened, it would allow for the pad to be lowered enough to have full contact. Thoughts?

AJ Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I see no problems with grinding it out. Your not going to take enough materal out to cause any strength issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Any idea who could handle something like this? I don't have the tools for removing the material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
