I don't usually read this magazine but saw on the cover a mention of the 914 article so I bought it. Excellent explanation of the upgrades to BMW front calipers, etc.
This was actually one of the last articles in a series about their 914 project car. Has anyone read any of the articles, are they worth trying to find? Pete |

QUOTE(brant Posted on Feb 16 2004 @ 10:49 AM ) When stock brakes are rebuilt for street use with good pads (don't have to be race pads).. they can work amazingly well.. Bleeding is a big key to this, but wheel lock up is easy in a well set up system on street tires... and once you've locked em up... what more do you want. FWIW - My brown car with stock brakes, Porterfield R4 pads front and rear and stock prop valve would lock up all 4 with no trouble whatsoever. Best braking 914 I've ever driven. There was absolutely no need to upgrade the stock brakes (on that car anyway). The only trouble I had was getting all of the air out of that damn stock prop valve. |
