i have read many other post about the stock brakes, the bmw and 911 brake conversion. my car is going to be my street car, with autocrossing and some spirited canyon driving on the weekends. how much of a difference does the 911 brakes make. can i fix up the stock brakes to do a good job even if i have to use soft pads and replace them more often, or should i just bite the bullet and spend the money for the 911 setup.

Dave nails it.
I would say... for your application... It's a cosmetic choice. If you like the look of 5-lug Fuchs (and who doesn't? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) ) then make the decision to switch over. If that really doesn't matter to you then just make sure your brakes are in tip-top condition. I think most of the complaints about 914 brakes I've read over the 20 years I've been here on the club... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) , have been old, poorly maintained systems with bad pads, old fluid, bad lines, sticky calipers, leaky master cylinders and the age old air in the p-valve. Make sure you have all those problems solved and you're good to go. |
