Brakes or struts?, Which way to go Options

[-JR-]

So I've got a dilemma.

For years I have been collecting parts for my 914-6 project that's underway right now.
I acquired a 911 front end clip. Came off an "SC car", but I think now it was a replica because of 3" caliper bolt spacing.
Later I acquired some 993 front calipers and then some 986 rears.


Now the dilemma...
My Boge struts are 3" caliper spacing but at least they are the pin type, not pinch.

No one makes 3" to Brembo front adaptors (that I've found and seems to be frowned on)

A little background, this is a 3.6L GT car build. These brakes are definitely over kill, but cool, much like the 3.6 and other retro mod improvements.

So do I replace the struts or the brakes?

I don't want to go away from the Brembo type calipers, but not stuck on the ones I have. Please no ATE brake suggestions.

What does the community think?

Do it right, FWIW I have 993 tt brakes front and rears on my 3.4 -6, it’s nice and cool to have those big reds but really overkill. I have a hard time heating them up on the street, and catch myself over braking on the track…. They barely fit under 16” Fuchs (they require a spacer to clear), and rubber is increasingly hard to find.

I’m thinking about downsizing to early turbo brakes, just don’t want to spend the $$$ just yet…

Good luck! Post pics of your build please!
