The size difference was so striking that I had to post a pic ...
On the left is a 914 front caliper, in the middle a 911SC front caliper and on the right a 944 Turbo front caliper. The 944 caliper can be modified to fit 911 struts. Despite its larger size, the 944 caliper seems to weigh significantly less than the 911 A caliper. I guess an S caliper may be lighter. Other advantage of the 944 caliper is that it is a 4 piston design. Attached image(s)

QUOTE(echocanyons @ Dec 17 2004, 07:43 PM) I weighed my stock 914 struts/brake and my 911 struts with monoblocks (both struts fully loaded and ready for a wheel) and the difference was ~41lbs for stock and ~40 for the monoblocks I state "~" because I was using a home scale and question the accuracy but the point is that the weight was pretty much the same for stock vs. upgraded in my case. did that include the rotors? I know you said fully loaded.... but I would think the difference between a small non vented rotor, and a large vented rotor would be closer to 10-15lbs.... brant |
