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 |

914s are 7-800 lbs lighter than a 911. It's not the rotors & calipers.
pads? 19mm master cylinder? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) The brakes on the car should be more than enough. Make sure the whole system is up to snuff, pads bedded in and all the soft lines are new. |
