I drove a 914-6 with a 3.2 in it and it had S front calipers and 6 rears (solid rotors). It's a nice setup and stops the car very well from triple digit speeds.
That drive was a big factor in the route I'm taking on my brothers 3.0 6 conv. ( I should start a blog on it ).. You will not be disappointed with the braking of that setup. I'm going with a full f/r Boxster brake setup on my 6 but haven't driven a car with these brakes on it... Sir Andy how do you like your brakes so far ?? Eric is the man when it comes to brakes... I can't wait to try them out. Attached image(s)

Looking great Luke.
For the record. All ATE steel caliper were finished in yellow zinc. The process was a rather quick "factory" job and they had a fairly light yellow dichromate layer. After years of various cleaning and sitting in acidic brake dust, the yellow dichromate layer begins to wear and they look more clear. This is why some people think the calipers were silver or clear plated. 100% of the ATE calipers we've disassembled have been yellow zinc (and no, we don't rattle can or copy-cad our calipers) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
