Hello - looking for opinions --and info --- are all 70-76 rear rotors the same ???
are all trailing arms the same ??? - are all the rear calipers the same ?? - I have a 914 race car that has no brakes mounted - the body is a 76 --- front suspension is 71 and I bought new rotors for all 4 corners. I have 6 stock front calipers (new and old) + the 2 early ones on the car -- -- and 6 rear calipers (new and old all of them need rebuild) - -- I have heard people put front calipers in the rear , but should I put early or late front calipers in the rear --- I have both ---- dont care about the e-brake ..... thanks for ideas -- I need to buy pads ASAP ---- going to do Porterfields --- but dont know which ones to buy for the rear ------ |

had fronts on the rear of this car...took out the stock bias valve and replaced with a "T"
you need to space the calipers on the rear rotors about 1/8" to center them on the rotor. worked perfectly with Porterfield R4-Ss upfront and stockish pads in the rear. but I was running M calipers up front with SC vented rotors... It will be hard to balance the braking running stock front calipers both front and rear...you will probably have to use an adjustable brake bias valve to get the balance anywhere near close.
