I just had a question, as i am new to my 1973 porsche 2.0 914. I am 18 and sorry if this is a dumb question but what size calipers can i buy and how do i know of they fit? I dont wamt the stock calipers and i would love to find a brembo or wilwood pair that fits the brackets and improve braking power. Again i am sorry if this is simple and dumb but i cant find/understand what i have read on this specific topic so far. Thank you so much (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

If you must upgrade and are keeping stock struts, I did the BMW 320 on the front and moved my fronts to the back. Added a 19mm m/c, adjustable proportioning valve, and SS braided lines. You do loose the e-brake doing this.
But. Rubber on the road stops you. Great tires on a well maintained and adjusted stock system should be fine for a majority of uses. Crap tires on my system would be a crap system with poor braking. Great tires on my system would be better still. |
