Hi, would love some recommendations regarding upgrading my brakes w/o braking the bank so to speak.
I recently upgraded to a 911 master brake pump or is it know as a cylinder and stainless steel brake lines. Changes my brake fluid reservoir to a new OEM Porsche one so the front trunks looks nice and new. So before I go rebuilding and making my current calipers all nice and shiny, what other options do I have to improve my braking performance? Can I go 911 brake calipers w/o having to change my whole front suspension to 911 suspension? I appreciate everyone's advice. I will post pictures soon, my car has been a two year journey and quite a story to get her where she is today. Many ups and downs, and almost 100% restored, bigger bored 2.0 now 2.4, new interior, paint, konis, springs, stereo, the works... Originally 52,000 now 55,000 mile original car. 75 2.0 now with back dated bumpers and many other items, so I call it Zambezi green , although a 75 was known as Forrest green. Finally proud to drive her around town. Been a hobby, passion, obsession and many reasons for past arguments regarding my income investments. Thanks for your recommendations.

Nothing wrong with new stainless lines. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) that the glaring use is the internal condition. They are intended for off road use. Guys that race are less likely to leave them on the car until the inside turns into mush and they are cracked on the outer surface under the braiding.
