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? |

My brakes were re-done (front bearings, discs, calipers(rebuilt by eric), new pads, new softlines) under the PO and the master cylinder was upgraded to the 19mm - however my brakes are still lackluster. I feel the hard-lines might need to be replaced as there is no record of this happening under POs. That is my plan to do in the fall if they need it.
I will be putting a Porsche 3.0L into my car. Is it still ok to keep with the original brakes with that? Street use only, no track. Found the billet hubs...thanks! http://www.bradrobertsag.com/product/4-LUG...ings-seals.html |

I would plan on replacing the fronts. With the six you are just adding a bit of weight to your car. I would upgrade the front's & leave the rears stock. The BMW calipers are really a nice upgrade. Probably take the lease amount of changing for you as everything else stays the same. If you go the Billet route it is an improvement but will run you alot more $$$$ |
