So I know this has been talked to death thousands of times and when I do a google search there's reems of information, but rather than spend the entire evening reading through many posts that really aren't relevant, I thought I would pose the question and see what turns up.
Recently I had a four wheel alignment and corner balance done by a really great and well known shop out my way (who are very familiar with track cars for my local track-Summit Point) and when I asked the primary mechanic today what things he might suggest for my sbc Sheridan standard wide-body conversion, he said upgrading my rear brakes would be pretty important for that track. Soooo, yes there are lots of ways to go to be sure but I was wondering about retaining the standard rear 914 brake (and e-brake) but using the vented 911 SC rotor? Do I recall Eric made/makes a spacer for this or is/was that for converting 914 fronts to rears? A lil confused this particular application. I like the idea of retaining the stock 914 rear calipers if I can but I really want to go to vented rotor (as opposed to drilled). Thoughts? |

The 6 vented calipers are always an option. I'll check to see if I have a set Eric did up for me.

They are 911 rotors. What calipers and rotors are used up front? That is where most of the braking happens. |

They also must be cut down, at least they do on the /4 V-calipers. |

Stock 914 rears or something else? V'ed calipers have a spacer to widen the gap for the disc to run through, wider gap allows wider vented rotor. Because of the calipers size the outer edge of the vented SC disc must be cut down for the rotor to fit without hitting the caliper. Mike Both /4 and /6 rear calipers can be v'ed. 914/6 v'ed become 914/6GT and Ferrari Dino calipers. |
