Boxster monoblocks and ABS, Installing Boxster monoblocks and ABS Options

[Dinobx]

Hey all,

I was reading another thread on brake upgrades. Some of you have talked about using the Boxster (not S) monoblocks on the 914, once you've changed to 911 struts and rotors.

The agreement seems to be that this would be great for the track but a bit too much brake power for the street. Some have indicated lockup of the tires can occur quite easily. I can certainly see this being a problem (I would think there would also be that scary "just touch the brakes and they grab way too much" feeling).

If that's the case, is there some way of fixing the lock up problem by also adding ABS to the equation?

I figured it would a pretty complicated undertaking. I'm going to be running the car with 7/9x16 fuchs and 205/245 rubber. I take it the boxsters would still be too much brake for those wheels/tires? Unless, of course, one is careful to not lock them up.

If boxster monoblocks have a good amount of modulation and feel built in, then it shouldn't be a problem. Then I'd be able to do some track work as well.

From what I've read in the archives, if not the Boxsters, then the best route would be just standard 911 carrera brakes on 911 rotors both front and rear.
