LOL! ...make sure the parking brake is properly adjusted!
I just finished gringing my front m calipers to fit the rear, and filed my big v's(Volvo) to use as much pad as i can for the front. 16's fit but need a spacer not to rub, oh yea let the flaming begin!

That's a stupid idea.
You forgot to post a picture of the brakes.
Anyone have red brakes? Maybe with the rims on?
The Wilwood option

That's badass right there!!!!
Thanks, 
Front calipers are C2's, the rears are C2 Turbo. Rotors are "Carrera" which were "frozen" from Diversified Cryogenics. Using Hawk street & track pads.

JT, Where there any other modifications to the rear to allow the carrera rotors and C2 turbo calipers? I'm waiting on some parts that I bought for the front end of my car, including C2 calipers w/carrera rotors... I'm in the process of figuring out the rear end. I have a spare set of 944 turbo calipers, any idea if these will fit on the rear of the 914?

Can anyone tell me where to get this setup? I am looking for alternative front brakes and don't really want to go with 5 bolt yet.
Auto_Werks 3.6--I got the kit from Powerhaus in Tempe, Az. It came with the calipers machined for the application, billet aluminum caliper adaptors, carrera slotted rotors, "frozen" and using Hawk street & track pads.
With the right adaptors I'm sure the 944 Turbo calipers could work. The front strut had to be modified for the C2 calipers.

Billet hubs from another 914 forum website, 911 SC rotors, and Eric Shea's rebuilt aluminum calipers.
Link to Brembo calipers.
Thanks I'll go 'cross the tracks to find those hubs.
Just need to decide if I want to remain 4 bolt, or take the leap to 5 bolt.

Wow there are some nice stopping power out there. Here's what I got. I did rebuild my rears with Eric shea's V caliper kit, I'll post picts of the rears later.
Here's the fronts for now
