What to know before ordering brakes for the Porsche Boxster (981)
Every kit matched to the Boxster (2013–2015) mounts on brackets made for this car. Some front kits use genuine Porsche calipers made by Akebono or Brembo, or genuine Cadillac calipers made by Brembo; rear kits can use genuine Porsche or Cadillac calipers made by Brembo.
Front kits come from AP Racing, Akebono, Brembo and TTSPORT with 6-, 8- or 10-piston calipers and 355–420 mm rotors; on the rear, Brembo and TTSPORT offer 4-piston kits with 355–380 mm rotors. Front rotors come in high-carbon steel, racing high-carbon steel or carbon ceramic, rear rotors in high-carbon steel or carbon ceramic. Most kits suit street driving; one front kit is set up for track use.
Nothing fits below 18 inches with the rotor we recommend for this car. Most front kits need 19-inch to 21-inch wheels; a single one clears 18. Rear kits need 18-inch or 19-inch wheels. Spoke shape and offset change the answer, so tell us which wheels you run.
