I can't find an answer to this...is it at all possible to put 911 brakes onto the 914 while maintaining the 4 lugs? Or must everything be swapped out?
I like my Mahles and would prefer not to have to replace them. And while we're on it, another brakes question. I read a couple posts where people just changed out the front brakes and left the rear original - to keep the e-brake. Any opinions on having 2 different brakes front and rear? |

Yes, the billet hubs adapt the 914 front hubs to a 911 disc and you can use whatever calipers that have a 3" bolt pattern onto the strut. Or with a adapter larger dual piston units like big reds. This retains the 4 bolt pattern for a stock look but much improved braking. Going to 320 calipers is a slight improvement but correctly rebuilt stock brakes with excellent pads is fine.
