What is the best match for rear brake calipers if I am planning a 5-lug conversion with 1970 911T Struts and hubs? Leaning towards the 3" Brembo Aluminum calipers in front, the lightweight is a big plus in my opinion.
Hoping to use the 911 parking brake in the back, so no need for complicated rear calipers with internal parking brake. Besides a 3" M-Caliper (38mm?) what are the other options for the rear calipers? Something lightweight would be a bonus . . . If I where to run a dual master cylinder pedal with balance bar would it be possible to just use another set of the 48mm Brembo Aluminum calipers on the rear? |

definitely talk to Eric. I just went thru making this decision, as i had purchased the group buy 5 lug conversion. Eric explained bias, balance and what goes with what.
I was looking at 'M' calipers etc but for the expense you really don't gain that much advantage. the stock calipers as he will tell you do an excellent job stopping the 914 when new or rebuilt. In the end i ordered from him stock replated and rebuild calipers for front and rear. They are original to the car and with the correct pads do an excellent job, even on the dragon . - larger pads have more surface area-more friction, more heat- Eric convinced me that properly functioning stock calipers were just fine for me even if i do an occasional a/x, not worth spending 4x more for a slight (maybe) gain good luck |

If properly bedded and adjusted they work great. |
