front brakes, best 4 lug set up Options

[sk8kat1]

I right now have the19 mm MC , SS brake lines and bmw front caliper upgrade from PO

I have heard the the stockers are just as good if working properly .. is this true ... is there a better setup than both and keeping the 4 lug ..

If the brakes overheat here, your not stopping and either into the face of the hill or off the cliff. So, extra protection against that is what im looking at. Better safe then sorry.

'Ever' hear of this happening with a 914? Let me answer that for you. No. You would have to get into 'serious' stupid driving situations to have your teener brakes waltz on you. Porsche brakes are 'always' over-engineered. I've 'never' heard of a 914 overheating the brakes so bad that it wouldn't stop. I've never heard of a street 914 overheating their brakes period. And, in inpromptu questions put out by James, only serious track cars with stock brakes have ever reported fade.

When I recommend an upgrade, it's an over-engineered upgrade, meaning; I like to use factory guidelines.

To your previous question about a 3.0 and bigger tires. Sure. For your 3.0 that you're thinking about building (I thought this was answered in another thread... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) ) I would recommend S or A-calipers up front, a t-fitting and 914 rears... that's squeaking by on the rears. 914-6 rears would be better but you can't find them at a reasonable price. 911 rears and 'someone's-spot-caliper-solution-soon-to-be-out...' (Calling Marty) would be the best. Again, anything beyond that for a 3.0 and a light 914 would be a waste of dough. But like James says... 'Spend the money any way you like.'
