I have a 1973 914/6 conversion with 2.4 L engine(being rebuilt now), and I am running the Alloy "S" brake calipers up front. I am looking to upgrade the front brakes. Boxster calipers are cheaper than the Big reds and a bit smaller as I would like to run a 17" wheel or smaller.
Anyone have the boxster calipers installed? Which rotors did you use? Adapters? I have an old set of Bremtek calipers that I might use if I can find some seal kits for them still. New to these forums, but love all the stuff on this site...especially all the racing pics |
