Just got back form 2 days of Watkins Glen had a great time. This was my first DE and first one for the 914. The one problem I had was braking I did not feel my brakes were grabing the way they should. I am running SC brakes on the front an 914 brakes on the rear. I am running on Stock pads. The fluid was flushed prior to the event and replaced with the DOT4 Blue stuff, But the brakes did not feel like they were stopping the car. The instructor also drove the car and said the barkes did not feel right. Thinking of upgrading to Carrear calipers and rotors on the rear with a High performance pad. What do you guys think, what brakes and pads are you running. The car is a 3.0 with 175 hp to the rear wheels.
