Running my 914/3.2 in the heat at Willow Springs and blew out my stock caliper seals today. Time to upgrade to something bigger. Suggestions? I'm running 944 Turbo brakes up front with 17" Fikse wheels all around. Thanks.

Just put the stock 914 fronts on the back.
if you want vented rear then the M spacers would do nicely.

You can go to Porsche "Big Black" 964/944T calipers & vented rotors in the rear too.

i'm running '84 carrera calipers and vented/drilled rotors on all 4 corners.

so far, plenty of stoppage and no fading.

if you do up the rear, you *should* replace the stock brake bias valve (if 'ya still have it) with a "T" or an cockpit adjustable valve.
