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.

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 |
