I figure some here will have more info on this, but Wilwood is advertising it has a big brake available for 914-4s. Just in case anyone would be interested. I haven’t even looked it up yet, but seen the ad in Excellence.

Fact: tire grip is the single largest contributor to stopping distance.
For most people, they would get more out of a better set of tires than they would out of “upgrading” to “big” brakes. |

I never understand when 914 owners that drive their cars less than 1,000 miles per year in good weather purchase all-season tires with rock hard rubber that last 50,000 miles. |

On the 718 Cayman there are High performance summer tires, that its recommended not to drive under 40 deg and don't even add air if its under 20 deg. I keep all-season tires on the 914 so I can at least drive it in cold weather. (with no salt on the roads) |
