Car currenrtly has a 2.7 engine and runs 914-6 brakes in back and SC up front.
How do I get a better brake feel? How do I add more stopping power, and is that necessary as I potentially upgrade the engine? Has plenty of rubber. |

I would think you should have all the braking you may ever need. The way I see it these cars are so lite stopping is very easy. More HP does not equal need for more brakes.
Stupid questions like what do you do with your car most. When was your last brake service. What kind of pads are you using Ans: Race car every weekend = get something bigger in the 4 piston caliper massive rotor and matching hydraulic system. (just throw more money at it as I have come to learn). |
