OK here is where I'm at. Just about finished with the six conversion. Now I have to think about wheels, brakes, etc.
My current 4 lug set up is great. Brakes are newly rebuilt, rotors in good shape and Porterfield pads on all 4 corners. I have killer 9.85 lb 15x8" 4 lug wheels with Hoosiers. I will likely do 8-10 AX and 3-5 track days this year. Should I bite the bullet and do a 5 lug conversion and buy 5 lug wheels with proper backspace? I have the fender flares, rocker panels to do a GT body. Trekkor seems to be doing well with his 4 lug setup under the narrow body and hasnt reported any signficant issues. |

If I had a 2.4 I would 'eventually' move to M-Calipers and V-Calipers but for now and for what you're doing... I'd have to agree with the guy that said this:
914 brakes are damn good brakes and if it's just autocrossing for short stints you should be fine. Fine enough to analyze what's going on and make your own educated decision for next season. You could then go 5 or even stay 4 with the Club Hubs. You've got choices. |
