I am finally getting around to doing this, i am wondering who else has done this and whether you have any words of wisdom, etc. One thing to know, I have newly re-done trailing arms, with the new hubs and bearings already installed, also new pivot shafts and bushings as well - this week i was able to order my newly reman. calipers from PMB, so "while i am at it" is the catch phrase to use here i think, i also had them send me new brake hoses and master cylinder(mine just went bad, so i have not been able to drive the car). So i have not seen anyone else that did this group buy post any thread or pictures on this process, so i figured i would do this when i get started, but would appreciate the advice! I have done brakes on many other vehicles but not my 914 here is what i already have done - -new shocks and springs- rear: sport bilistein's with 100#springs, new factory anti-roll bar bushings. thanks Eric and Bill H. for getting the group buy put together, and Eric for the ONE-STOP-SHOP and providing all the necessary components!!!!.

I took it the a brake shop and they were able to set up there machine to cut off the end of the rotors! gotcha, thanks for the heads up. We have a local porsche shop, specializes in all things aircooled- they just did BillH1963's new /6 conversion engine work. I'm sure they will be able to help out if i have any fitment issues. I was orginally going to to a caliper upgrade but i talked it over with Eric(PMB) and really did not seem to make since, so i stayed with the stock set up stock calipers and new pads , new 19mm master cylinder will go in as well, and if i get it all set up right, i don't think i will have any issues stopping ability (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
