So I'm browsing around on EBAY today and run across a turbo caliper from '78. Is there any big downside to using a set of them on my conversion car? Obviously, I've got to find a set first... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Here's a link to the auction so you can see what caliper I'm talking about.

Later,
Kevin

We simply bought a complete 930 front suspension and bolted it up to the front of our flared track car. We then got rid of all our front wheel spacers. 930 front ends are 2" wider than 911 front ends. 1" per side.

You will need a bigger master cylinder with 4 piston calipers. A 23mm works well.

For the street, I can't imagine NEEDING that much braking, but on the track with 2 drivers, we need all the cooling we can get.


Good luck Kevin.

I gotta go bolt my 3.2 in my car at last.....
