Can I make 993 brakes work on a 911 suspended 914? If so would it be a bolt on or would i have to make custom brackets for the calipers to bolt up?

Actually, what 911 suspension do you have? If you have the version with 3.5" spacing between caliper mounting holes there are options (see below). If you have the earlier version you are probably limited to the M calipers. Also, when you say 911 suspension you are talking about the front. If you substantially upgrade the front you will also need to upgrade the rear.
The cheapest upgrade is 911SC or Carrera brakes front and rear with matching rotors (A calipers). The S calipers from a 911S would be nicer for the front but are more expensive. The S calipers are in Alu. The A calipers are cast iron and rather heavy. The Carrera setup is preferable for the rear since they have a wider rear rotor. That's as close to bolt-on you will get, and it will also be the cheapest option. Other option is boxster calipers with 911 rotors. Look up a914guy for this solution. 930 brakes will be too expensive. You will need to get the 930 hubs (good luck finding those) and the 930 calipers. $$$$'s There are other options with BMW calipers on the front but I don't know much about that. Do a search. You should find info on that. Good luck! |
