Hey everyone just trying to reach out and get some diy big brake kit ideas. It’s 2018 and I don’t get why our options are still big reds or switch over to 911. I’m looking to do a willwood setup on a 914-4 suspension. Has anyone done this? Trying to save some coin and time.
Thanks, Trevor (group5 v8 914) |

On the plus side tons of big brake kits for Mustangs so the aluminum hats are available however the rotor offset might be funky. You will also have to deal with the hubs being so large in diameter, I ran into this when I did a 4x100 conversion on 914 years ago. I would research what people have done with earlier 911s and contact Wilwood or Patrick motosports. Might have to piece something together, but see below for some ideas. https://www.rsrproducts.com/911-brake-systems |
