911 for 914 Brakes Question Options

[patssle]

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?

What pads did you use? How many miles on the system since the new calipers? Why would you need new hardlines (if they're not leaking they will have no affect on your pedal performance)? Did you mean softlines? What was your bedding procedure? Did you set the venting clearance properly in the rear? And finally... what are you comparing it to?

Previous owner did the pads - I haven't taken the system apart yet so not sure which ones. I did some adjustments, but no luck. My brakes cannot be locked up, and the pedal is hard to press. I question the steel hardlines because I have read they can rust and clog up. Softlines were replaced by PO. I plan on bleeding the system to test this theory. The rebuilt brakes have probably a thousand or two miles on them.

If stock 914 brakes are more than enough for the 3.0L, then by all means I'll stick with them - once I figure out the issue. I just see people saying to upgrade them if you're adding weight and power to the car.
