    You have to have an adapter plate. But Im not so sure that all will fit. What are they coming off?

    I was thinking a Boxter. But I am not sure, I just saw it somewhere and I can remember where I heard about it or have seen it.

    Re: Calipers Swap

    PureMS.com sells them as well. You'll also need to get the brake lines as well, since the stock lines are not compatible. Do a search for Boxster Brakes, and u should find a ton of info

    Re: Calipers Swap

    Are the brake lines for a Boxster, or are they Hybrid lines with Audi on one end and Porsche on the other?
