911 Suspension...which fit?, TÜV said sorry, No Go to 944 Turbo brake-adapters... Options

[MikeInMunich]

...welded to the strut tower...sorry, no photos...so that we could have the 944 turbo Brembo brakes...TÜV says no...no such welding can be approved that can lead to death if failure occurs, quasi.

So I want great brakes on this car up front and need to get parts and work done fast. Buyer is waiting and I need money bad, thanks to COVID destroying my tour business, Mike‘s Bike Tours of Munich and Bus Bavaria Neuschwanstein Castle Tours.

Would greatly appreciate a few of the more knowledgeable here taking a. Omens to recommend a quick way to go here...either 914 struts and possible 911 brake upgrade....if at all possible, or which (entire) 911 suspensions FIT or if I can combine 911 strut towers with the 914 suspension...??

Thanks gentlemen!

With best regards,

Hi Mike,

whats wrong with the standard A Caliper in the front with 3,5 spacing and 24 mm brake discs?
This is the biggest stock setup which cames with 911 3.2 carreras, good enough for atleast 250ps , 250km/h while having a car weight of about 1200kg.

I really cannot recommend redrilling 944 turbo calipers, firstly, you will never get Tüv with this setup and on the other hand the 944 Turbo caliper has a couple of drawbacks. Problem is, e.g that this caliper needs 28mm discs in the front, while your able to mount up to 24mm on stock 911 hubs, without modifications. This will lead to loosing of 2mm on both sides. Next point is that you will have a hard time to find a nice set, since they are mostly severely corroded, which makes them in most case useless.
Shortly, with german words: „totaler Murks, der zu Recht kein Tüv bekommt.“

911 setup with A caliper and 24mm looks stock but is vastly supereor over the stock setup, while beeing already an overkill for that car.
