Sure, this is a re-run.
I ran the track and got brake fade 3/4 of way into each session. I just want to upgrade the pads and fluid right now. What do you recommend/are using. Wear is not a factor. I want the best stopping power for the stock FOUR calipers/rotors. Do I need to replace the M/C with a bigger unit and what are your feelings on the prop valve vs "tee" arguement. Also considering the SS brake lines. Thanks and thanks to Mark for helping with the brake bleeding on track day. KT Attached image(s) ![]() |

Just Autocross? Stock brakes should be fine. Get the mongo fluid and pads.
If it twas my ride I'd go with "Mueller Hubs" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/hide.gif) (sorry Brad... I only tease ya if'n I like ya) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Seriously... minimum I would have on that car is M-calipers up front and a T-fitting. Drew's set-up would be my choice... cept; Drew, if that's a stock -6 caliper you have on the rear then those SC calipers won't do anything for you. They still have the same 38mm pistons that your -6 calipers have. It wasn't until 84 with the Carrera's that they changed that piston to 42mm. If they're -4 calipers then that's another story and that's a good swap. And... if they're the later Carrera rears you may want to think about that proportioning valve again. Especially with A or S-Calipers up front. Just thinking (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) |
