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 |

Thanks for the replies.
I do have good pads, R4S, in the front only and I was told (by Rich at HPH) that I dont really need them in the rear; should I order some? PMBseems to have good prices. All 4 calipers were rebuilt 2 years ago, no pitting in the bores or on the pistons, new seal kit from PMB & braided lines. Venting clearance is as close to .004 as I could get it; recently double checked. I did not bed my pads. I'll give that a try. I probably could use new tires. |
