Made for a 914-6, but looks great for any 914-12

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Actually, I don't think it's a bad thing to publicly flog him... Eric is a bad - bad person. He has sent his damned jewelry-like brake calipers to me multiple times. I think he likes it... |

you all know that 914/6 cars don't NEED rear vented calipers right?
I took my rear vented calipers OFF of my race car to save weight and have never EVER had a problem with over heating solid rear rotors on teener race car in the last 15 years... use the right pads, perhaps power slot the rotors. I am of the opinion that this is a bragging right that actually makes you heavier and slower... I would like to hear of any teener that needed them I know 250hp race teeners with 12inch wide rear slicks and real rear aero that don't need vented rear rotors. brant |

This is a want, not a need. It will match the vented Brembo's on the front. The brakes were old ferrari calipers so the spacers were all ready built in. But... Although I haven't weighed or priced the vented rotors vs the solid ones, I don't think the weight or the price is that much different, at least for my application. I think Eric's sale price on vented rotors is less than the cost of the solid 4 or sixes. bulitt - Is 2 pairs a collection? I should probably sell one before I get two carried away... |

I don't think the cost is much different.
but 911 rear vented rotors have material built in for the 911 style parking shoe... this large hat adds more total weight... I think its about 10lbs total between vented and non-vented I think these are way cool brakes.. but I also strongly believe that 914's don't need vented rotors for performance reasons.... only for cool factor. And they can be a performance disadvantage just like heavy wheels that are "cool" or ..... |

Brant needs some factory beryllium rotors... Or some of them there Alfa aluminum brakes that would offset the extra weight in the rear... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

you all know that 914/6 cars don't NEED rear vented calipers right? Alright I will remove them from my race car for next season and report back. I will pull off the vented rotors too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I took all the brakes off my car years ago and saved a ton of weight too. The jack-stand performance wasn't effected at all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
