AX brakes vs. Racing brakes..., what setup or both???? Options

[BKLA]

The narrow body AX/race car I purchased last October has Boxster brakes up front and "m" front calipers mounted at the rear. I just ordered Rich Johnson's rear boxster kit for the 914 and will install it before the first AX this season up here... seems like a good idea to have a matched set of brakes that are engineered to work with each other. (I believe that the car is in E mod for the PCA AX, but honestly, I have no idea.) This is all well and good for AX, but places me in all kinds of weird and uncompetative classes in PCA, SCCA and is not legal for histerical classes.

I am not planning to race the car this season, but would like to go thru a few DE days and an SCCA drivers school in order to re-activate a 15 year lapsed license... Next year though, I would like to do a few historicals as well as an SCCA race or two.

Anyway, now I have a good set of "M" fronts, a set of "M" rear (smaller piston size) calipers (rebuilt) and I was thinking...Hmmmm

I could put together a complete set of front struts and rear trailing arms with these brakes and have a legal historical, SCCA and PCA system that I could just bolt on. Of course, I need shocks to match, but I have a set of front struts as well as trailing arms with elephant racing bearings installed - so this seems like a no brainer.

Am I over thinking this? - I'm not out to win, been there done that...I'm out to have a really good time - so running in the other classes in an uncompetative car shouldn't really matter.

Any advise from the peanut gallery?

This first year, I am in it only for the fun. My original plan was to run it in AX's and do a DE day or two, them maybe an SCCA drivers school.

I am going to put off the drivers school stuff 'til next year go with my original plan. AX this year, slowly determine if the current setup - engine, gearbox, brakes, body configuration, performs well and is what I really want.

Based on everyone's comments, it appears that I have all the "stuff" to put together a braking system that will meet both the requirements of SCCA and Histerical racing. I just purchased the GCR so that will be my first read to understand the classifications and requiirements.

I am going to install the rear boxster kit as the monoblocks are significantly lighter than the "M" calipers. The first AX will be a "test" session to figure out brake bias and other settings. Other than maintenence items on the engine (oil change, tune up, valve adjust and carb adjust) and gear box, and the mods to the roll cage/seat area to get my fat a$$ in the car, I'll just show up as it is.

Thanks!
