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) |

Car in question: That car has been running stock /4 brakes for how many years? WTF? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) What he said. Genuine BBS LM wheels at those sizes, with what I am guessing is a powerful V8, but steel 914-4 calipers? Time for an upgrade, and with that kind of power I'd be looking at some sort of 4- or even 6- piston setup up front and four pistons at the rear. With a footprint like that, it's definitely worth the best wheel bearings you can get, as well. The 993 GT2 ran wide 18s and was at the limits of its front bearings...and those were the much larger 964/993 concept. Then again, at least the 914 is a fair bit lighter, and I doubt you are running slicks at race speeds for 12 or 24 hours. |

Yeah did everything but breaks last because it was just a weekend warrior but now I want to race and I do plan to run a 6/4 set up mainly looking at willwoods |
