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) |

Trying to save some coin and time. I have Boxster calipers on all 4 corners. Best brakes i ever had on the 914 and trust me, i tried a lot of different setups. The adapters as well as the calipers are readily available. I'm not sure how reinventing the wheel fits into "saving money and time". There are already plenty of options out there and a good portion of those are (still) affordable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) PS: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) |

That’s where I’m trying to save money I already have the struts so looking for options for my 914 4 struts. Just surprised no one has made hubs for these yet. Ideally I would like to do willwood lite 4 pot calibers with willwood top hats and a vented rotor..if I can just find a hub to work with I think everything else will fall into place. |

I guess you didn't look at my post well enough (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Hubs are available that go directly only the /4 strut. 4 lug and 5 lug. The downside is that the 911 struts have larger spindles with bigger bearings something that should be important with those huge tires that are going to put additional stresses on the stock parts. Bearing ID diameters.... 914 spindles: ⌀1.147"x.580"W ⌀.6875"x.575"W 911 spindles: ⌀1.250"x.660"W ⌀.750"x.655"W |
