Does anybody know which BMW brakes will fit on the front of the 914 ? Are there anybody here who has done it or knows how to do it ? Anybody know where there might be an article on how to do it ? My 914 is way too fast for stock brakes ! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

Thanx for the tips guys ! The reason it is so fast is that it is for you purists a "NARP" (Not A Real Porsche) it has a Chevy V8, this is my 3rd 914 and I don't miss adjusting valves,cantacorus fuel injection, losing spark plugs in the cooling shroud ad nauseum. So I have also added some weight to the car so the brake upgrade is a must !I have a 911 front end that I can put in it , the brakes on this older 911 are the same size but ventillated, this set up would not seem to be much of an upgrade , I think , would the BMW calipers fit over the wider early model ventilated 911 rotors ? However there are other good reasons to switch over to the 911 front end such as a legitament 5 bolt pattern to be used w/ the 911 wheels etc I have the ventilated 911 rotors and calipers in the back. Now thanx to you guys I have a lot of options to consider , especially since I am on a low budget if you know what that means. I hope to post a foto of the car after I get it painted !(rattle can Primer it is now)
