Ok guys! Time for antoher one of my 'dumb rookie' questions.
What brake calipers are applicable to my 914? I don't want to use the originals, and I'm turning it into a GT. Any seperate years or models I can use? Please, endow your knowledge upon me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |

QUOTE It is a slippery slope. When talking 914 brakes and "upgrades" it doesn't get any better than that statement. I would do exactly what Dave and Jon recommend herein. Spend some decent dough on awesome pads for now. Make a budget and save your Ben's for a strut conversion once the flares are on the car. Also... start looking now for some -6 calipers. You can go other routes but in the end, they all cost average the same. If you're lucky you may find the -6 calipers for the $6-700 range in need of a rebuild. Ferrari calipers can still be had for $250 each but they need a dual bleeder modification. |
