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 ------ |

Thanks guys - here is more info --- race car only --- www.chumpcar.com -- the rules are about value -- race a cheap car for 14 to 24 hours in a row --- very grassroots racing ---- the 914 is acceptable but no real "go fast" parts ----- I traded the 2.0 liter complete fuel injection for a set of 40 webers ----- and a set of VERY nice ss heaterboxes and a monza exhuast for a very used Kerry Hunter with a super trap ---- So stock fronts in the rear-cool 911 - or big reds NOT COOL---- i would get huge penalty laps for those --- I bought lots of new parts (rotors - bushings - pads - cables ) that are not part of the car value equation.... cage , safety , tires and wheels are not in the value..... brakes are limited to 2x (2 times) original parts ---- not OEM nos but fair market price ----- My car is piced together from 3 parts cars and a stripped out race car shell ---- for a $100...
