I have 1972 911 Boge struts on the front of my 914 and I am still trying to figure out what brakes I will use front and rear. I know many people think the 1974 and later 3.5 inch struts are better but I have these and I'm gonna use them. My question is can you run rear Carrera ( 1984-1989 ) calipers on the front? If I understand this correctly this would give me a 24mm front rotor with caliper pistons that would work well with M calipers in the rear with a adjustable proportioning valve, anyone running this setup? I am going to install a 19mm master cylinder. This will be a street/autocross machine with occasional DE's thrown in. Oh yea I'll be throwing in a 911 engine too!! Any thoughts on this brake setup?

Run M-Calipers up front as suggested.
Run 914 "rear" calipers in the rear and adjust your factory P-valve. You can run 911 calipers in the rear without the spacers (for the 914 solid disc.) but you will have no hand/parking brake. I don't recommend that. You can purchase 914-6 calipers and they would be a perfect match for the fronts but not a perfect match for your wallet. You can purchase Ferrari calipers for the rear and they would be a perfect match for your M fronts as well, with or without the spacer (with for vented, without for solid). Dave is spot on... putting carrera rears on there would be a downgrade. |
