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

I don't know how much it matters but you will want to swap the bleaders and oil line bar on the calipers. The arrow on the caliper should match the tire rotation. You want the small piston on the top and the big one on the bottom. I had to do the same thing on my Boxster calipers because the 944 turbo and boxster put the front calipers on the back of the brake disk versus the front.
