Ok guys! Time for antoher one of my 'dumb rookie' questions.
What brake calipers are applicable to my 914? I don't want to use the originals, and I'm turning it into a GT. Any seperate years or models I can use? Please, endow your knowledge upon me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |

I used Bilstein struts with 3.5" spacing. Calipers are 944 Turbo, they were modified by about 8mm at the mounting holes to fit the stuts. Stock 914.6 hubs, rotors and dust sheilds. No idea about performance cause it's not runnin yet, but I'll comment on that later (hopefully). I'm using Fuchs 7X16 and everything clears with no problem.
Rear's (sorry no pics) will be stock 6 calipers and rotors (thanks again Eric). You didn't mention any budget, but you can pretty much guess by lookin... |

Luckily, my Dad is a 914 fanatic, so finding the struts was a simple matter of going through the pile of old parts. I swear, he could build 2 or 3 914´s as of right now.
Yay for 911´s with 5 lugs! |
