I know in the past everyone has discussed using M calipers on the front with stock 914-4 rears along with a T fitting in place of proportioning valve.
What if you were to use the M calipers and 914-4 fronts on the rear utilizing the proportioning valve. would this negate enough of the rear bias with the larger 914-4 front pistons to give good braking? Possibly utilizing a milder rear pad as well with a very aggressive front pad? What do you think....and no I don't care about the E brake.

Yah, those JFZs were cool. and talk about stopping....Limiting factor was the tires not the brakes.
But that car had a much higher speed and acceleration curve than my new 4 banger. Now it is back to momentum...don't use the brakes near as much. I am using the bigger calipers and vented front rotors because this car will probably be used to train my Son and Daughter all about AX and DE. I want them to have plenty of safety margin once they go onto the track. Not to mention as beginners they will make the rookie mistake of overbraking everywhere (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |
