Is anyone out there running 944 Turbo front brake calipers on their 914? I have struts with 3.5" spacing, but what else do I need to make these work up front ... rotors, proportioning valve, etc.? Rear calipers will be SC.
Thanks |

Actually, the 944 turbo calipers are fairly easy to put on the front of your car. It just takes offset drilling of the caliper mounting holes. A 19mm master cylinder will work fine with them, and the SC rears will be a good match without a proportioning valve.
Use 911 Carrera front rotors with them. I had a set on my car,but switched to Boxster brakes. |

Yes I think the spacing is 3.750 or close to that. The right way to do this is have the holes welded up and then machine the correct spacing. The backyard way is to elongate the holes to fit. |
