okay...for a factory 914 /4, the front calipers (piston area wise) are 1.61 larger than the rear....(42mm and 33mm)
for early 911's (up to '84), the fronts are 1.6 larger from '84 to '89, the fronts are only 1.3 times larger than the rears....then the ratios vary from 1.4 to 1.7 until the arrival of the 1st Twin-turbo, that car has calipers that have piston areas 2X the size of the rears !!!!! I'm just wondering what combo people have successfully ran.....it's interesting to note that the standard Boxster front calipers if bolted to the front of a 911, the Boxster piston area is only 1.05 larger than the standard 911 fronts.....seems like a darn near equal swap, except for the bigger pads you get with the Boxster calipers (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |

I kinda want to put 944 turbo calipers on, then 914 fronts on the back... (or something like that...) but I really want to be able to have a hand brake...
944 turbo's put the same on the front as they did on the back, and those things stop like a mother!!! (especially with some sticky street tires... aka my street race 205's...) something to keep in mind... |
