I can't find an answer to this...is it at all possible to put 911 brakes onto the 914 while maintaining the 4 lugs? Or must everything be swapped out?
I like my Mahles and would prefer not to have to replace them. And while we're on it, another brakes question. I read a couple posts where people just changed out the front brakes and left the rear original - to keep the e-brake. Any opinions on having 2 different brakes front and rear? |

I should have answered your question. My bad.
If I were to work within the parameters you've discussed (3.0, Narrow Body and Retain the 4-lug), here's what I would do: Master Hydraulics: Retain the 19mm Master Cylinder. All new soft lines. Compressed air through the hardlines. Front Wheel and Hydraulics: Club Hubs, Vented Rotors (maybe mill the edges), Brembo Calipers. (same as the BMW calipers but "much" lighter and work with the Vented Rotor. Porterfield R4S Pads. Rear Wheel and Hydraulics: Ferrari 308GT Calipers, Bleeder Modification. Retains all stock handbrake functionality. 38mm piston. Larger pad. Porterfield R4S Pads. Hope that helps. |
