Just got my new to me 914 back from my wrench. I had him go over it with a fine tooth comb not only for Tech Inspection, and a coupe of known issues, but I wanted a really good idea of what I had bought a few months ago. Turns out, the car is in excellent health except for a couple of known rust spots that I will have repaired in July.
One of the concerns I had before taking it to him were the brakes. I guess I am just too used to my wife's 993 and the memory of my recently sold SC. The 914 just didn't feel like it had any serious stopping power. My wrench changed the fluid and did a detailed inspection of the pads, rotors and calipers. His evaluation is that they are normal 914 brakes.
So moving to SC brakes would seem to be the obvious choice. But that is a lot of money when you add in spindles, suspension parts, wheel and tires. What about a 320 brake conversion? How good are these conversions? And if I do 3-5 DE's per year in the car, would I be happy in the long run with them?
Any other options out there I am not thinking about?
Thanks for any and all help on this.
