ECS does sell a 2-piece set-up for the R brakes
my R&D funds and team aren't exactly F1 levels lol.
ECS does sell a 2-piece set-up for the R brakes
ahem excuse me? You have an A+ advisor who isn't going to say "I told you so"
But..... I told you so.
Ohoho, so we're bringing our argument in here now. Fine, was trying to keep that between us but now that I know the gloves are off!.....
:wink:
If you have the time, put on the Boxster Brakes and the stock spindles and compare? I suspect they will react quicker than our floating calipers and probably allow for greater modulation. I think you have to reverse the crossovers and nipples on those so the larger piston is the trailing piston because they are mounted in opposite position on an actual Boxster. You probably already know all that. If you could find 2 piece rotors for those the weight savings would be phenomenal and the choice would be simple. When researching it a while back there were just a couple of mentions about folks using 2 pieces rotors with these but never found source and the posts were years old.
Please do! If it's better than OEM and doesn't have the same fitment issues as the Mishimoto I'll go that route. Looking to do this before the start of next season.
Finishing up with some front end stuff this week, installing the Whiteline bumpsteer kit finally. Fender flares and Boxter caliper brackets should be here sometime this week. Caliper brackets are coming from the UK so they might be here next week.

Thanks you very much for the post and offer to help. I will be contacting you shortly to work something out. Not often you see a company going out if their way to make things right anymore. Props to you guys, I will be giving you another try because of this.
Argggg, so torn right now. Going to start tearing into the racecar next weekend to get it ready for the season. Can't decide if I should go for 2 piece rotors and boxter brakes on stock spindles or go with the TTRS spindles and Golf R brakes. 2 different effect can be achieved with the different setups but I want both lol. What to do, what to do. The benefits of each setup are almost impossible to determine which is better. Anyone with real world experience that can chime in would be greatly appreciated!
Maybe sell both the sets of front brakes and move to a new set of brakes. I have run Wilwoods on my GTO and really liked them. You can get a nice full front kit for about 1550. Forged 6 piston, narrow caliper and 2 piece rotors 327mm. Sell both sets and you will have most of the money.
