Best place for new Calipers?
Ok DDK'ers. treating the old Yellow to a new set of Calipers all round - where shall I go?
Front and rear, news pads also required and could be tempted to go for new discs too if a package deal is out there.
Any thoughts?

Have emailed them with a list
Also priced it all up with Design911 as they do some good packages for calipers, discs and pads

Re: Best place for new Calipers?
Autodoc are great if you know EXACTLY what you want and are in absolutely no hurry to get it. Not necessarily a problem if you're stockpiling for a rebuild or whatever, but it's still a massive annoyance when ten days after you've placed your order you receive an email saying they're putting your order together...

I can't remember what brakes you have currently fitted - 3.2 Carrera ?
When replacing the front calipers on my car last year I found Heritage Parts were the cheapest so might be worth checking their site (10% DDK discount too).

Re: Best place for new Calipers?
Thanks everybody
Making a few calls and enquiries this afternoon
So far Type911 have been very responsive and given a price of around £200 per corner for calipers, discs and pads I’m thinking of doing the lot

Re: Best place for new Calipers?
Never had an issue with them, and have had orders through in less than 3 days which is pretty good going for a company based in Germany, but parts may come from anyone of their depots anywhere in Europemisteralz wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2026 12:45 pm Autodoc are great if you know EXACTLY what you want and are in absolutely no hurry to get it.

Re: Best place for new Calipers?
I'd be tempted to upgrade to Boxster 2.7 calipers. Its pretty straight forward.
