I am looking for an upgrade to my front stock calipers and the "M" caliper for solid rotors seems to be a good choice. The car has a 19mm master cylinder and the braking could be better and instead of replacing the master cylinder with a 17mm I thought I'd upgrade the front calipers.
From what I can tell early 911/912 calipers for solid rotors will be a direct bolt on to the early 914 strut. I also think they use the same brake pad. Has any one done this or can someone confirm that they will be a direct bolt on and is the pad size the same? thanks -Rob |

Eric has to chime in ... I think the offset is different and the rotor won't center in the caliper.
Early BMW calipers will bolt on an early strut and center correctly. There are threads about that "upgrade". To fit later cars, I remember the mounting ears have to be shaved 0.125" on the inside AFAIR. Don't remember the years of the Beemer either. |
