Well, I said I wasn't going to go the big brake route but a full set of 993 calipers landed on my lap for cheap. Note that this requires the 951 Fuchs on the front to clear. but I had them already.
I slotted the rotors in my mill. Quick and easy and saved a bunch. Here are a couple of pictures. Note the size and venting compared to the 77 911 rotors. The calipers weigh about the same but the rotors are 4 lbs heavier! |

regarding brake upgrades: I'm sure I'm not the first to ask, but I haven't had much luck doing a forum search. Can anyone point me to threads/posts on doing brake upgrades?
I won't go into details (yet) on what I have on my car now. I would like to do some research before I start asking specific questions. If anyone can point me to one or more general starting points I'd greatly appreciate it! thanks, mike |
