911 A pads are about the same size as the 320i pads. Maybe a little bigger. But I think its all in the pad compund...
I know theres a bunch of difference between my dads stock pads, and his racing pads. Like really big. He can lock up the tires with both, but the pedal feel, and quickness of the racing pads are amazing. Gotta get me some.... Andrew |

What would cause a right rear lockup under very hard breaking at the track? I have carrera rotors w/ monoblocks up front and stock calipe rears and a T.
Someone there said it could be the venting clearence...what do you guys think. I should have WAY more brake in the front, so having just the right rear lock seems very odd...I'd think the fronts would lock way before the rear. |

What was it??? yes! well, let's see, - i had the carrera brakes in the front, stock 914/4 brakes in the rear. fronts would always lock up first (way too early). - replaced prop valve with a "Tee". helped a bit, but still the same problem. - went to carrera brakes in the rear and voila!, problem solved ... i simply didn't have enough braking in the rear with the stock brakes (compared to the front). now the brakes are well balanced, in fact i haven't had a single lockup at AX since, and trust me, i'm trying (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Andy |

Since we're spending your money. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) If you need/want different struts, the price (when all is said & done) difference between stock 9eleben struts and them new Fox jobbies isn't too much to over come. When one considers the advantages of double adjustables and adjustable spindle height, it would be a slam dunk for me...using your money (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Seriously, when my fronts wear out....and their getting close (the housing, not the insert), I'll pinch some money outta myself. I would like to see some feed back from users tho. A good set of 'S' calipers usually go for around $400....tho finding a good set is gettin tough.....'A's are half that. |

QUOTE sticky piston(s) ... time for a rebuild! Sticky as in they aren't fully coming back out when you are off the brakes...therefore get max pad pressure too early on that one? I'll look into it, thanks for the tip though! |
