Brake Upgrades for a 4 lug, what's available Options

[76-914]

Looking to upgrade my present brake system but I want to keep it 4 lug AND keep the parking brake. Not to mention, staying out of the Poor House at the same time. I'm not opposed to moving up to a larger MC. Is there such an animal? TIA, Kent (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Someone once told me, "If you can lock the tire, you have enough brake"


Beyond that, most improve their brakes more for the heat soak and need to stop repeatedly from high speeds. A few quick stops on the street aren't usually enough to warrant most brake upgrades.


That said, you might find that better pads are alone all you need. What pads are you currently running?

+1, that's all you need at 20,30, 50 and 65 mph.

Yup. True. So why do I have aluminum "S" calipers in front and aluminum 914 6 calipers in the rear (thanks Eric) both front and rear on vented 911 rotors? Why?? Because it looks KOOL. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Stop on a dime, give ya 9 cents change. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)
