hello,
I am currently upgrading my 914-6 to vented rotors. My hope was to take a Front "M" caliper and mount it on the rear using the 911 (69-83 Rear) vented rotors. I mock fitted the caliper and rotor and it looks like I need to place a small spacer between the caliper and the mount on the rear trailing arm (not a problem) The issue is the 911 rotors get larger as you get closer to the brake surface and rub on the "M" Calipers. Has anyone else had this issue? I realize they are larger for the parking brake, is there a parking brake delete option? 914-6GT vented rotors, suppliers? Thanks for any help, back to the drawing board! Steve |

no.. my front KFP's last 2times longer than my rears
I can get a whole season out of a set of fronts... only 3-4 weekends from a set of rears. and our car is a double driver too.. with my dad. what compounds (what color) are your front/rear pads try KPF gold color on the back or go up one step from there if you need to which calipers do you use front/rear? |
