I was wondering what brakes can be run on the 914. I am aware of what can be done on the front. I am going to run 911 struts and there are tons of options there.
I was just wondering what can be done on the rear. I was thinking that running some sort of radial mount caliper would make it just a matter of getting the correct adaptor made and you could run boxster brakes, big reds or what ever. Instead of reinventing the wheel... or brakes in this case I was just wondering what is out there, who offers it etc. At a minimum I would like to run boxster brakes and would really like to run big reds or S4's... |

google VCI brakes.
what 911 struts are you getting? MOST brake options are designed for the 3.5" struts.... ,(vci makes s4 adapters for 3" M struts) your next paramater is WHEEL SIZE. the hugemongous (and for 99% of applications, unneeded) rotors will not fit under anything smaller than a 17" wheel. boxsters, 951 996TT etc.... VCI and a few others make rotors and hat solutions to run anything you can adapt. AA |

I will be running the 17" wheels and I will be pushing somewhere in the 400 - 500 hp range so the big brakes will be well utilized (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) |
