What is the largest engine hp that would be considered "right" for my braking system? I have
911 "M" Calipers and front struts, and 5 lug 6X15 fuchs. Other than that I am stock. I was thinking the 2.4 engine would be the best I could do. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

what kind of roads do you drive on??
about the only time you'd cook those brakes is a DE event or if you drive in the hills/mountains and need to use your brakes "a lot" while coming downhill...... normal and even spirited driving,the brakes should be fine unless you tend to drive with one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake pedal.... get the pedal firm, use new fluid, good pads and good condition rotors you'll have a perfect braking system.... |
