Is it possible to run these with stock callipers? I had it in my mind that early 911 rears are similar to the 914-6 rears.
I know the 911 has internal parking brake shoes but I thought the actual braking surface with essentially the same? |

I know the 911 has internal parking brake shoes but I thought the actual braking surface with essentially the same? Which stock calipers? /4 or /6? And why would you want to? /6 rotors are easy to find. They are used on most if not all five lug conversions. /4 calipers will work with a little bit of effort and will take /6 solid and vented ones as well. The vented rears will need a spacer between the caliper halves. The expert on brakes is Eric at PMBPerformance.com His Momz dresses him funny but he's a good guy.

I would just buy original six rear rotors commonly available for 95.00 each and install those |
