I finally have my car reasonably roadworthy and am working the bugs (mostly self inflicted) out of the build. The car is a wide body, so wide tires and 17” rims. I am running 300 whp, out of a Wrx eng/trans combo. The car has 911 front suspension and brakes and 911 rear rotors with 914 PMB rebuilt calipers.

I need better brakes. I have tried doing a search, but typing in brakes yields lots of results. I was thinking of changing out to Boxster, but thought I would pulse the group first.
Thanks
Ed

Do you have 3" or 3.5" struts?
3" = M calipers or Brembo aluminum calipers from an Alfa Romeo
3.5" = SC, Carrera, S calipers, Boxster (with adaptors), ect.

Don’t know the year, believe it is early 70’s. I only had a tape measure, bu the center to center measurement was 3-1/2”.
