Brake upgrades are possible depending on the size of the rotors you are upgrading too because sometimes, depending on wheel size you run into clearance issues.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 2Original post

Are you trying to upgrade to Big Reds? What year is your car? Brake upgrades are possible depending on the size of the rotors you are upgrading too because sometimes, depending on wheel size you run into clearance issues. As a for instance I upgraded my OEM Brembo's, on my '99 Boxster, to 2001 S Big Reds with cross drilled rotors because my Boxster had the 17" wheel upgrade when purchased. Had it had the 16" wheels, that came stock, the brakes wouldn't have fit on the fronts. Give us more information because there are other things that may have to be done to do a conversion.:cheers:
