I have some '97 911 Carrera Brembo calipers that need rebuilding, but otherwise use-able. How do I make them work with the 5 lug 914? I have looked in FAQ's, Google, Bing, etc. Pelican justs sends back to 911's technical BBS.
Can someone help me out? Is there an adapter? Or do I have to buy 914 calipers and space them. What is the best route? Thanks everyone, korijo |

An easy (relatively) brake upgrade is to use the 993 rears on the front of a 914 - I think you need the 911 spindles though (3.5" spacing on the caliper mount). You have to wallow out the bolt holes on the caliper a tad, but that's it. You can use the standard rotors and 16" wheels. That's what we have on both Papa Smurf and Huey - excellent braking. Standard late 80's 911 Carrera rears on the rear.
and yes, 23mm master cylinder. The 993 fronts require and adapter kit that I think then requires 17" wheels... |
