Those calipers are beautiful.

the calipers look like steel to me (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Greg, what you need to do with those wheels is mount a few different sized tires on a bone stock 914 (possibly lowered a tad) and list the recommened tire size on your site so there is no guessing or pissed off buyers thinking they can run a wider tire than they really can on a stock car.....

The tooling is complete. I have not figured out what the demand will be so I don't know how many will be in the first offering.

I just got off the phone with a guy here in Australia who is preparing a run of alloy calipers for the 914. Apparrently these are a direct replacement, including handbrake.


What's the piston size?
What's the pad size?
Do they include the handbrake as the first post mentions?
Are they an 'aluminum' alloy?
How much do they weigh?

All points to consider when choosing a brake 'system' and choosing to spend buckage on an 'alloy' caliper. Alloy S-Calipers will save you about 3 lbs. per corner. I would imagine a smaller 914 rear caliper would be less...

How much are these? They could be a really 'big deal' if they exist.

Thread has not gone un-noticed... I'm trying to get in touch with my contact to see about what happened to them. I had forgotten about them and given up hope. I'll let you guys know when I reach him. So far, nothing though.
