Do I need certain model of hubs or will any 911 hubs work? Do you think 150 is a good deal for SC calipers and rotors?

If they are worn rotors and dead calipers that are corroded then no. if the calipers are decent then maybe do a rebuild kit and check the runout on the rotors. brand new rotors are really not that expensive. dr |

I paid $200 for a whole front suspension setup from a carrera.. but that was the deal of the century, I don't expect to see a deal like that again.
What about brake lines? I'm not sure if you would use the 911 flex hose or the 914, or something different entirely. (haven't installed mine, so I need this info too) |

The guy said he just rebuilt the calipers and the rotors have 2k on them. Also hard lines come with it.

QUOTE Do I need certain model of hubs or will any 911 hubs work? You'll need struts with the 3.5" spacing as described and they don't come cheap. 911 hubs from 69-89 should work. QUOTE Do you think 150 is a good deal for SC calipers and rotors? If the rotors are brand new (as in never used, still in the box) maybe... otherwise, no. I put virtually $0.00 value to any used rotors and $150.00 is a bit pricey for a pair of A-Calipers. You could get a complete early (through body sway bar) 911 front end for $150.00 if you look hard enough. That's with calipers and all. Now they probably won't be A or S-Calipers for that price but the standard M-Calipers work well with the rear calipers and proportioning valve. And... if you're not moving up to a high performance six or V8 then you'll be fine. |

Nobody knows about the flex hoses? I'm guessing it would be the one from the 911 side of things... Anyone know for sure?

Flex hoses: I had a set made up by GPR for 2 different cars actually... I think they are 914 on one end and 911 on the other end.... I know this was for my S caliper'd car and my A caliper'd car and that these two take the same fittings..... don't know if the M caliper may take the same fitting as a teener ? brant |

Just for a point of reference I bought a set of 1990 C2 front and rear calipers with new pads for $150 US. I also just purchased a set of brand new rear rotors for $60 US.

QUOTE Just for a point of reference I bought a set of 1990 C2 front and rear calipers with new pads for $150 US. good price, too bad they won;t bolt on and I think the rear pads are the same size or smaller than the stock /4 calipers.....I have done a side by side comparison, but I know the rear pads on my C2 are tiny (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
