I'm about to take the front suspension apart to replace it from the cross bar forward. While doing that I would like to change the front brakes. I'm interested in reducing the unsprung weight and the reciprocating mass. I have on hand Brembo calipers but they are for vented rotors. They do have a spacer but my question is can I remove the spacer to make fit early rotors. Also, do I have to change out the hubs to get early type rotors. I have had the calipers on the car before but they over powered the rears. This is an A/X only car and I believe that the brakes will never get hot.
I currently have everything but the rotors and shocks and I believe that my friends at PMB or Tangerine Racing have the knowledge. ![]() All of these changes should bring the car weight down to under 1600 pounds. |

Hi Joe, Yes you can remove the spacers on the calipers to yse them with solid rotors. You may need shorter bolts as the original bolts are partial thread and may bottom out. Are you running 911 struts and hubs? If so i think the 67 911 T used solid rotors. @914 Ranch |
