I have BMW 320i front breaks and was wondering if they bolt straight to the back break location. If I wanted to remove my Pvalve and use Eric's T, is there a front break that can handle the setup as mentioned. What would be a close second, with an after market adjustable Pvalve, if the rears hava to a mucha MMMMMMMACHIZMOoooo!

I get such a chuckle from reading these BREAK threads.
Series 9 that is the cleanest race car I have seen in quite awhile. Kumho MX's I bet you think they have great grip too. Best way to stop a 36 year old 914 is to pull some wieght off of it. fix the stock stuff. and then learn how to drive. Threshold braking is an art. I run 225/50-15 Hankook RS-2 tires on light rims. it stops better than any car I have ever owned including my 928. Put my real slicks on the car with 15 lb rims and the braking is near 1.01 Decleration G's That's from 100 ish MPH to 50 ish MPH to get thru turn 4 @ my little red neck track NPR. So what's you G meter say Mr. big ass brakes |

I get such a chuckle from reading these BREAK threads. Threshold braking is an art. I don't think I've ever seen brake misspelled as break more often than here. Or any other term spelled incorrectly as often. Threshold braking is the important thing. If you have too much brake for the tires / road surface / conditions then all you do is lock up and slide. At best you flat spot your tires, at worst, well I shudder to think. When you slide you don't have full control, and you don't stop as quickly as with threshold braking. ABS will put you in between. |
