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?

O.K. lots of opinions...no measured data or real world test, like the one I had tonight. Just got the car back on the road with new struts, balls joints, pads, tie rod ends and a damn traffic light just had to turn red (you know the ones...the ones with the red light cameras at them). Well a full on panic stop, yup like Eric said, stock works! 'Cept one thing, the rather large pick up truck behind me kinda forced me (without contact) out into the intersection.
I don't AX (yet), so I won't be needing an upgrade anytime soon. The question was really in my head due to the post that had all the pictures of wrecked 914s. ALL the ones with front end damage! That kinda sent out a message. Thanks for all the views and examples. |
