Hi there all! I am brand new to this world and just purchased a '74 914, 1.8L. Right off the bat, I need to tighten the parking break, fix a carb vacuum leak, tighten clutch cable and improve breaking.
I plan on bleeding the breaks and cleaning them up in general. I also came upon this kit and seems like a decent deal. From what I read, I should stick to the OEM calipers so this is just rotors and pads. https://brakeperformance.com/brake-rotors/p...ASABEgK1dfD_BwE Thoughts on this? Is there a kit out there that is more proven in this forum? I am all ears and pumped to dive in! |

Has your car been converted to 5 lug? Try PMB (member vendor forum) or pmbperformance.com. Easier to get the CORRECT items the first time. They will know EXACTLY what you're going to need. Far less time consuming.

Ok, thanks. I checked out their sites and it looks like maybe rebuilding the OEM calipers, confirming rotors are good, changing the brake fluid, and some quality pads might be the best way to go. Thanks!
