[QUOTE="Haveacamper, post: 592326, member: 2051"] Performance pads would assist in terms of a higher friction (also would wear more quickly). I believe cross drilled discs assist with enabling gases that are generated between pads and disc surface to escape, allowing a more consistent braking force to be maintaned between the pad and disc. also a level of heat dissipation maybe. I think the overall to take away is that the preference should be to: a) install remote servo to maintain the preferential smaller bore diameter of the stock master cylinder b) upgrade to servo with matching master cylinder. you lose line pressure, but not as much as what you gain from the assist from the servo. c) change brakes for larger piston and disc diameter. but before you do, pay attention to what your current brake piston area is! i) The front stock piston diameter of 54mm is pretty generous as seen compared to the 4-pot boxster ii) even though the rear drum piston is fairly small, the drum is fairly generous, so get a disc with an effective radius you have to go quite large. What I have shown is a little skewed as I have shown the the non-servo master cylinder vs with servo master cylinder (without the servo assist). [/QUOTE]
