Rear Brake Caliper Options w/ 911 Park Brake Options

[gryphon68]

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?

2lbs. 12oz. light enough? 38mm pistons are the perfect bias for the fronts.

No on the balance bar MC, you would only be able to pull the fronts or rears out of the system. With the 38mm pistons you have the prefect bias match for the 48mm fronts.

For $100.00 more I'd just go with the proper 914-6 rear calipers. Love for me, hate for others who don't want to or know how to maintain them. They're a great caliper that should be simply adjusted once a year when you inspect your brakes and change your fluid (right?)

If you don't want a handbrake, fine. If you do, it would be cheaper to run the 914-6 route vs. doing all of the mod work for the 911 handbrakes.

I think it's funny that a $699.00 "pair" of calipers is spendy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol3.gif)

E - Your site says $799.00 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) - and worth every penny (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
