Part numbers for the non-S boxster calipers -
Porsche Left Front Caliper 986.351.421.xx
Porsche Right Front Caliper 986.351.422.xx
P.S. Don't exaggerate... it was 6 weeks ago. They're sitting in my garage now ;-)

Go for a kit. (BIRA.org) has all the details you need.
If you can, do not get stainless lines. And if yo figure out which porsche lines work, please advise as I am tiring of changing my lines every year or two (since my line went last winter 5 miles form home).
Not my 0.02 on the lines but a very well-known Audi mechanic.
Stay away from slotted and drilled rotors too. Plain with a good set of pads and you're set.

Thanks! A query?
I can swap these lines (part number from blau) ?
That's great as I know Pelican and spoke with him and he went with stop tech lines for the A4/S4 as they too apparently work.
I have a set to install when I get around to it but would much prefer hard lines if they fit.
Thanks,
Peter

Thanks for the answers so far guys.....-->
the only reason I asked, was because most places don't specify if it's an "S" caliper or not. They only break it down to 3.2L or 2.7L. I'm not too educated on porsches so I'd assume the 3.2 is the "S" model, right?
