so, i got some helpful tips and hints on the previous brake question post,
but the main question is still unanswered .... - what exactly is the difference between the early (pre '78) 911 MC and the later model ('78 and onward) MC ??? also, anyone out there who runs mid '80s carrera brakes all around and got the brakes balanced OK? if so, what MC are you using? what else did you have to do to get it balanced? sooo many questions ...

The trouble TimT is mentioning is what you'd expect with full carrera brakes on a 914
After all, a carrera has much more weight in the back, sitting right over the rear wheels, which creates more rear wheel grip/friction, which in turn would allow bigger brakes without having them locking up And yeah... locking rear wheels will give you sweaty palms (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) Other things that can upset the brake bias is the difference in front/rear spring weight If your front is sprung harder than the rear, the fronts would lock easier/earlier cheers, Jeroen |
