    The last set was actually tightened using pliers and lasted for quite awhile but I guess someone had a toolbox handy. I now use the standard black plastic caps.



    I know what you mean about brake dust... even the shortest trip in the Boxster yields lots of dust. But that is the price one pays for big stopping power when you need it

    Brakes are for amateurs.



    I`ve got a 3 ton truck and excellent hydro boosted brakes, but I get very little brake dust.

    My wife was driving the Carrera one week solid and, like the Boxster, if puts out some dust when you heat up the Big Reds. I was washing the car and yelled at her, "Honey...will you pleeeeease stop using the brakes!" She almost dropped the groceries she was carrying and instantly gave me the "death look" that wives can muster up!

    Here`s a link for the same one`s I have. There are a few different brands. I like the chrome ones, but some of them stick out too far for my tastes. The ones that show yellow, before they show red stick out a little farther. They should cost you about $10 for a set of 4, but I`ve seen them for sale at dealerships for twice that.

    Well, I couldn`t find any locally, and went to go order some from that site, I don`t mind paying the shipping, but I can`t find the link to actually buy them...
