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.

I try to have two sets...
An all season on a narrow wheel for everyday driving. I like the Continental DWS versions. A "go fast" set up on wide wheels with a summer ONLY tire and treadwear at or below 200. The "summer" tires are so temperature sensitive that I store them OFF the car in my heated shop over the winter. I store them up high, where the warmest air is. The narrow car has all season DWS on 16 X 6s right now. That tire has 96% of the grip that the summer version has and triple the life. When you have a set of all season street tires you don't have to choose a longer life tire for the "go fast set". I can remember when a set of "winter" tires/wheels was common... Sometimes they were studded! If you ever have to run a studded tire on clean/dry streets you will remember it for the rest of your life. NO traction and stud noise drowns out everything else. Sounds like a tree grinder... |
