So yeah – like the title says. We have such excellent driving roads for the 914 here. Curve after curve after curve with a nice long straight soft band head followed by tight right hander. Hard on the brakes- heel toe go for the downshift to 3rd timed right at entry and%^]!*|!}. …. Knob in hand car in neutral little harder on the brakes. Front starts to wash out- little softer on the brakes and coast through. Whew. I’m just not used to going into a corner without decel and I don’t like it one bit.
So- how are these held on?? Mine has some type of wavy shim but that’s not nearly enough. Pete |
