Car currenrtly has a 2.7 engine and runs 914-6 brakes in back and SC up front.
How do I get a better brake feel? How do I add more stopping power, and is that necessary as I potentially upgrade the engine? Has plenty of rubber. |

My car is set up like Andy's now
QUOTE 19 mm master cylinder '86 carrera front brakes, vented and crossdrilled rotors, carrera calipers '87 carrera rear brakes, vented and crossdrilled rotors, carrera calipers replaced brake bias valve with a open "T" except that I have an adjustable bias valve for the rears. Its taken me awhile but I think I have the front/rear balanced to a point that I can brake deep into a corner.. So since I have this more than adequate braking system sorted what would any normal person do? Leave it alone!!! So Im installing the following: 944 Turbo Front calipers 944 Turbo rear calipers 23mm master cylinder 944T front drilled rotors Carrera rear rotors and a spacer to move out the front hubs so the discs will clear.. The calipers are being modified by Doug Arnao (VCI) to a true radial mount.. So now I get to climd the whole brake learning curve all over again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
