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. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

I think you're spot on then (this is for racing?). Here would be my choices. I think I'd go 'A' or 'B' and keep a handbrake (I know, you don't care about it).

System A:
911 M-Strut with vented rotors (or Mueller hub if you're 4-lug)
M-Caliper
Porterfields
T-Fitting
Stock Rear on a Solid rotor
Porterfields

System B:
911 M-Strut with vented rotors (or Mueller hub if you're 4-lug)
M-Caliper
Porterfields
T-Fitting
V-Caliper Rear with Vented rotor
Porterfields

System C:
911 M-Strut with vented rotors (or Mueller hub if you're 4-lug)
M-Caliper
Porterfields
T-Fitting
Cockpit adjustable Valve
Front 914 Rear on a Solid rotor
Porterfields
