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?

QUOTE If I go with the early Ms on the front and stick with stock 33mm, non-vented on the rear, can I replace the P-valve with a T? You could but I recommend setting up the factory adjustable proportioning valve. You'll have to chip off some epoxy and loosen the lock nut, then adjust with the hex. QUOTE if I wanted to go with a 911 setup w/parking brake, which years should I look at. 1969-1973. These have the proper spacing for the bearing retainer. A factory -6 has the M-calipers up fron and the 38mm pistons in the rear like the 911 but it retains the proportioning valve. |
