I have been thinking about doing the beemer front disk brake upgrade. The only thing that bothers me is the loss of the parking /(cough, cough) emergency brake. I had an idea to look for a motorcycle front disk brake rotor mounted to the axleshaft with a cable operated brake assembly mounted to the tranny (I think there are three useable bolts on the RH side). Anyone play with this idea before?

Might as well update or upgrade your whole front end and front brakes with a 911 suspension that most of us do. Its not that big of a job and if you can get the parts for a good price is a nice upgrade plus allows the use of 5 bolt Porsche wheels and adds some value to your car as well...not to mention poser points too
I got mine for very cheap from a 911T car that was rear ended and it made a nice improvement plus you get the slightly heavier torsion bars as well. I upgraded to new Koni shocks, new rotors later on, braided lines and new pads along with a 19mm master and its very nice....also added new BF goodrich tires and that was even better...eventually when I fix some other problems and make more progress I want to upgrade to Eric Shea's 3 inch alloy brake upgrade and some cross drilled rotors when funds allow. |
