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?

AutoDoc.........they will also give you price on alternative manufactureers callipers
Budweg, seem to have a good reputation and you do not need to send your old ones in for the replacenments.

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

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...

Check Local OPC’s also. Think Norwich will give you 10% discount if you are a PCGB member

In that case if you decide to try D911 make sure that they really, really have it all in stock……

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).

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

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 Europe

I'd be tempted to upgrade to Boxster 2.7 calipers. Its pretty straight forward.
