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.

That would be a great deal of work. The 911/914-6 front (M-Caliper) has a nose that is too large and it hits the hat on a rear rotor (probably cause of that 48mm piston). (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Yes... you could use the M-Caliper up front and the 914 front in the rear with an adjustable p-valve. That's still a lot of rear brake for the application. The 'late 911 rear' Dave mentions with that 42mm piston size didn't come around until the 1984 model year and it's the first time the 911 began to use a proportioning valve. Refresh my memory on your HP and your tire size & compound. E. |
