WTB: Some 996 Front calipers, maybe rear(BOUGHT)

[Arith2]

Had a shop destroy my front wheel hubs, which were replaced, but my rotors are scraping the calipers(they're warped). This is a perfect excuse to upgrade to some quality Brembo parts. This will be for a DD so I'm looking for a decent set. They don't have to be rebuilt or machined. Machining would be appreciated but I have an old drill I can use.

BOUGHT SOME NICE ONES

1. It's only 996 brembos not 986/987 (even tho the 996 calipers may be on a 986/987 car). I say this because many have screwed themselves by buying 986 calipers.
2. You can't use porsche brake lines
3. You can't machine the fronts' mounts with a drill & you can't eyeball it. You need to be a proficient machinist.

I have a nice set with only 48k off a 2006 boxster s I could let go of for a fair price if you're interested. Shipping cross country is pretty expensive, but you can "hack" the USPS flat rate system and ship cross country using a large and a medium flat rate box for about $35 which is cheap.

I appreciate the info. I'll update post. I guess I misread the lines have to be used so I'm going to go back and check to see if some regular lines are enough. I just ordered ECS's last Stoptech SS lines for all four corners. You saved me a headache.

What is the difference that makes them not useable versus the 996 calipers? I always thought it was just a different bracket. The drill I have is a professional tool that was pulled out of an old factory. It has clamps and a table. It's not a handheld one.

I have an extra set of rears in black that I would sell.

If I end up finding black ones for the front, I'll let you know. Red is the preferred color though.
