I figure some here will have more info on this, but Wilwood is advertising it has a big brake available for 914-4s. Just in case anyone would be interested. I haven’t even looked it up yet, but seen the ad in Excellence.

That is quite interesting!
But I'm with John (Geezer). I historics-race a 914-4 and find that the front brakes are quite adequate with the right pads; in fact, if I had a lot more front brake I'd probably be running into bias problems and possibly front lockup. For reference, I'm running the BMW calipers, stock rotors, Hawk Blue pads, manual bias valve typically dialed a lot to the rear, and Hoosier Speedster or Continental Extreme tires. However, one big advantage I see: replaceable rotor rings! It would be wicked cool to be able to do rotor replacments without having to repack/replace bearings. And, of course, they look pimpy cool (I race Wilwood brakes on the SCCA Produciton car and love 'em). I sent them an inquiry for more info. |
