We have kits with brand new front calipers. They include brake pads and caliper pistons the size of a Porsche 911 so will dramatically increase your braking power. We also sell the calipers by themselves if you already have the 19mm master cylinder and stainless lines

I believe they are the same size as the 914-6 front caliper.
This will drive brake bias rearward unless 914-6 rear calipers are used. It's a decent upgrade, the pedal "feel" should improve when using the 19mm master. I'm not real sure how much improvement over the stock stuff it will really provide. The pads should last longer. The ratio of the 17mm 914 master to the stock calipers is very close to the 914-6 19mm master to the larger -6 calipers. So, a longer pedal stroke that is slightly easier to modulate VS a shorter stroke and higher pedal effort is the difference. These differences are minor. Lots of folks are completely happy running the 19mm master with the stock 914 calipers. Many prefer the higher/harder pedal. I am planning on using a 19mm master and the BMW calipers on my car. I may install a simple adjustable proportioning valve in the rear line if it proves to be an issue. |
