So I received this catalog from FVD-usa.com, mostly 911 stuff, but I've wanted to check out their catalog for sometime...
Anyway, on page 101 of their catalog, they list "Drilled Brake Discs" for the 914, Front & Rear. They are $95/ea if you go here: http://www.fvd-web.com/phpkatalog/index.php3?lang=usa then put this part #: fvd 351 08 and then enter the Rear # is fvd 352 07 Yes, I know, the picture has 5-lug, but the catalog does list the 914-4 separately from the 914-6 Attached image(s)

Yes, it would be. Because all it takes is one crack to propagate until a section of the rotor breaks off while you are using the brakes. It'll ruin more than just your day...
I feel that drilled solid disks are useless. Drilled vented disks have some use, but even then I feel that they are more for looks than any actual benefit on a street car. --DD |
