89 LS Brake Upgrade

Just wanted to add some updates on my 89 Brake upgrade(s). After installing a Hydroboost MC and reading so many different responses, I decided on what would be my rotor/caliper upgrades. I had already purchased a set of 2002 Boxster (no-S) calipers and rotors for front/back. Everyone suggested after the fact that I acquired a 996 brake setup. After much research, the only difference is 4mm thickness on the front rotors. This may be significant on the track but doubtfully on the street. Now I needed adaptors for using my new brake setup on my car. Reaching out to VDUB Engineering, I spoke to Lanner, sent him some pics and was off and running. A week later, in my home was my new adapters, bolts and centering rings for my setup. Really nice guys and very informative. After a couple of hours of cleaning my hubs and removing my old rotors, calipers and pads, I installed my front setup and with no issues or mods. He made everything to spec and it all bolted right up. Will be a while before I can drive it and check everything out but at this point I am very happy. Some pics included. Thanks to Lanner for making this go


so easy.

Conversion looks great. I also have a 1989NA and am considering doing a similar swap, but using 18Z 6 piston calipers off a Cayenne. I'm in contact with Lanner at VDub too. Anxious to see what he can come up with.
