70-89. It just depends on your goals and budget.

It's a huge options list and the front and rear are two separate entities.

Looking for better brakes,..mainly,.but the 5 lug is a bonus,...I hope doing the rear's are just the hubs rotors Etc. Thanks

Thanks bdstone914,..that's good info,.!!

Check out PMB’s website for good info. The options for 5 lug go from redrilling hubs to simply swapping out parts to mimic the 911 setup. Basically anything up to 1989 can be used somehow.

The pmb thread is the best info out there. To get bigger brakes on the rear, you either need 914-6 calipers, about $1500-2k a pair or 911 M calipers, 911 ebrake and a five lug conversion. Bigger brakes on the front require 3” or 3 1/2” 911 front struts.

Later struts with the 3 1/2" spacing afford you a bit wider front brake selection.

The stock rear 914 brakes are adequate.

Boxster calipers but you need to deal with the e-brake conversion.
