Default I believe it's the 996 calipers that you want 2000-2004 twin turbo rear drive...more

You need custom brackets for them to bolt up.

Default O, then what swap is it that is suppose to be straight on?

I could have sworn someone told me that the boxster calipers will bolt right up with the carriers and A8 rotors. I Was going to do the S4 conversion, but someone suggested this instead.

Default IIRC, the 'carriers' are the special brackets. Yes, they do bolt right on though....

with the A8 sized rotors.

Default O alright. I can get the carriers. I thought you meant I needed another adapted also.

Yay for me :-) Boxster Brembo calipers + A8L Drilled and slotted rotors here I come :-D
