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!!!!.

Ummmmmmmmmmm...
Les bought 914-6 rear rotors. The people in the group buy have 914-4 rear rotors that were machined to 5x130. ***DO NOT MILL ANYTHING OFF YOUR ROTORS*** |

The people in the group buy have 914-4 rear rotors that were machined to 5x130. ***DO NOT MILL ANYTHING OFF YOUR ROTORS*** Just to be clear sometimes the 914-6 original rotors will need to be milled and sometimes they won't! It depends on which rear calipers you have or where you purchased the rotors. Some kits for the "conversion" would have come with pre-milled rotors. The 4 rotors that were machined will NOT need to be milled! If I didn't mill anything off my 914-6 rotors then my new calipers that I purchased from you wouldn't have fit! I have had calipers that did fit with the 6 rotors but when I pulled off my old ones that did fit and replaced them with the ones I purchased from you, they didn't fit! I had two choices, 1. Call you and try to convice you that they don't fit or 2. Mill 2mm off the rotor and call it a day! I chose option 2 since I had someone to do the milling for free! |
