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 .. |

good performance pads up front or on all 4 corners...cheap pads only on the rear or all 4 corners you never want to run a better or more aggressive brake pad in the rear than in the front unless you know what and why you are doing it (Chevy did it and got sued for it, rear brakes worked better than the fronts and cars lost control) Like Eric mentioned, Porsche brakes are over-engineered, even on the lowly /4 models (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) I have a newer Hyundai Elantra, the rotors are smaller(10" vrs 11") than on the 914 with brake pads about the same size (no ABS)...2700 pound car...car stops great.....only car I've ever cooked/overheated the brakes on is our 3500 pound Volvo with calipers just a tad bigger up front (rear pads are tiny)...just like the 914 it has 11" rotors but they are vented |
