First Look: 914-6 Alloy Rear Calipers, ...about 30 days out. Options

[Eric_Shea]

The time has come. We are beginning to take pre-orders on the 914-6 rear calipers.

As you know, us 914 owners have long been looking for a solution to a properly biased brake system. The fronts have been the easy part, bolt on a pair of Brembo's ...or a 3.5" 911 front suspension and you would have your choice of larger calipers with 48mm pistons up front. But, what about the rears? You need a 38mm piston to give you the correct bias. For 914 owners that meant a long and winding road of searching for the proper solution which usually boiled down to two things; uber-rare (and uber-expensive) original 914-6 calipers or 911 rear calipers and a confusing handbrake assembly or, worse yet, 911 rear calipers and no handbrake solution.

Well, you're looking at the true bolt on solution. Aluminum castings of the famous 914-6 rear calipers. Final weigh-in has yet to be established but, we think we'll be under 3lbs each with the aluminum pistons.

These simply bolt on and use stock handbrake cables and parts. Larger pistons and larger pads make this the prefect rear caliper solution for Brembo bolt-ons and S-Caliper or A-Caliper upgrades.

What you are looking at is a raw alloy assembled prototype prior to anodizing.
