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) |

My 2 cents for what that's worth (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I have a 75 chassis that I'm converting to a /6 with a 911 3.0 engine. I have converted to 911 front struts 3 inch spacing and running M calipers with 20mm thick vented rotors. In the rear I've converted to 911 5 lug with 911 E-brake and M calipers also with 20mm vented rotors.. I am not running a proportioning valve just a tee. Also installed a 19mm master cylinder and all new brakes lines from the master cylinder to the calipers. I fully expect this setup to whoa just fine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) This is basically the same setup I have on my 83SC and I have no problems with that heavier car at AX's or DE's. I'm guessing I may have to play around with pads to get good forward/rear bias but I don't think that will be a show stopper. I have 16x7 and 16x8 Fuchs and BBS wheels that I'll probably have 225 + 245 tires so traction should not be an issue. Good luck with whatever you choose to do.

Correction. Cleaned out the spare parts area, my Dad took the 911 Struts and such, but it's cool, because I havethe struts that are being replaced, originally from an actual 6
