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.

I agree with the above...
If you spent $ on tires, pads, hoses, rebuilding stock calipers, etc.. I'm guessing you would notice NO difference over 911 brakes for mostly street use and a little bit of track/canyon use... In fact stock brakes can ROCK on the track! and are actually lighter and thus make your car faster in some conditions! If you ever get a BIG motor, LOTS of track time, or into endurance racing then the pendulum will swing over to needing more brake mass, and vented rotors. for your useage its probably more a cosmetic and taste thing. brant |
