5 lug conversion question., Rear calipers Options

[turbonet]

Bought a five lug conversion recently but the rear calipers don't have an e-brake on them. Can anyone shed some light on what I have exactly.

SixerJ and Falcor are correct. You can use a 6 rotor (should be $50-60 each) with your stock rear 914-4 calipers. You often have to shave 2-3mm from the rotor diameter but this can be done easily and cheap. Put new rubber flex lines on the back - while you are in there $25. The holes on the rotor fixing screws might not line up if you are using converted 914-4 hubs, no big deal, just leave the screws off. The rotors will be held secure by the lug nuts when you bolt on the wheel. (They wont fall off when you take off the wheel since the caliper holds them on both sides).

Like the others said, if you are not using a stock 4 caliper, you can use a 911 ebrake but this will take some mods, 911 ebrake parts, a conversion kit from tangerine racing and I. believe you will need a 911 hub as well.

If you want to match up the rear brake to a big front brake, the 914-6 calipers or the 911 ebrake with a 911 caliper are the best option but not mandatory. When you put your car together, make sure to test it out in an empty parking lot so you can feel what your setup will do under different braking senarios
