Default Porsche 996 calipers on an EG

Does anyone make a caliper adapter bracket that will allow me to run Porsche calipers on an eg?
I found someone that had the brackets but he hasn't returned my IM.
Any help would be appreciated.
Here is picture of the calipers.



Thanks,

I know Bookler is running Porsche brakes on his H1/PTC/STGT EG hatch. Not sure what he did to make them work but they work.

Are the porsche calipers cheaper than a willwood kit?

MY friend justin: weaksquad*atl* had a similar setup... ill try to get pics when i get home. This came from his part out thread

a good friend of mine built this kit for his track car (used at road atlanta) and when he decided to part out his integra to build an E30, i purchased this kit from him. i mounted this kit on my car then immediately took it right back off since i decided to also part my car out. this is a one off kit that is built with a purpose!! *one caliper has a scratch on the face* (shown in pic)
-Porsche Carrera/Boxster H6 Rear 4 Piston Caliper
-AP Racing 12" two piece rotor
-Goodrich stainless steel braided front brake lines
-cnc machined brackets (integra non type-r)
-h&r wheel spacerse

looks like something you'll have to fabricate.

Thanks for the info b16b.

yea, I have access to the equipment. The problem is I am at a point in my life (I have 3 kids, wife, house, full time job...) where it's easier for me to buy stuff then it is to spend the time fabricating it.

speedminded is the user that has brackets, but he hasn't returned my IM. It doesn't seem like he's on H-T very often.

I know that many porsche brakes have interchangeable parts with brembo and stoptech.

And that stoptech makes a big brake upgrade kit for the Honda/Acura.

It may use a mounting bracket that will fit the Porsche caliper. I would try stoptech, they have been really helpfull to me in the past

Joe from Locash Racing here in Phoenix has the materials and machine(s) necessary to fabricate brackets. He fabs custom brackets up for Honda apps in mass quantities, so I'm sure if you mail him the calipers he can fab something up for you. Shoot him and email: Sales AT locashracing dot com
Tell him Gabe says hello.

If its any help, Silver calipers means its off a Carrera 4 (All wheel drive) 996.(though you may have already known that) May help with pads in the future. Porsche calipers are all made by brembo.

PWR2LBS = Porsche tech. if ya need any more info on the calipers i can find it for ya.
