...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, Mike in Munich |

Are the 951 calipers a better caliper than the Std boxster brakes? Seems way easier and way cheaper for the modern boxsters.

Are the 951 calipers a better caliper than the Std boxster brakes? Seems way easier and way cheaper for the modern boxsters. I put a set of 944 Turbo calipers on my car when I first built it. They were fine, but later converted it to Boxster calipers. The Boxster calipers are already sized correctly for a mid engine car, and they didn't require me welding new tabs on the rear trailing arms. Like the TUV.. that worried me. Boxster calipers are modern, mid engine brakes that improve the 914 braking performance substantially. Clay |
