Where do I begin? So much talk about brakes and I am nocloser to a solution. I went with the 2002tii brakes from 1972 on limited information and got burned. The posting says they are a bolt-on to the early 914's so I tried them. No good. The bolt spacing on them is almost a 1/2 inch different. Did I get the wrong year? And does someone have the dimentions from the BMW 320i rotors so I can order a custom vented hat/rotor for my 1972 914 2.0? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

The stock calipers up front are just fine, never been able not to lock them up once I put on some of the pricey racing type pads, i got Porterfield brand fronts (near $100 a set) these pads are excellent, i could not need any more stopping power, cause the tires would break free next (wide sticky tires too boot) So go get some of the good fancy Porterfield pads, and use the stock system, it works great. Once you lock up the wheels, all the extra caliper wont make any more difference. Since i can rapidly lock them up with my good pads I don't think I will gain much if anything by different calipers.
