You can now!!! Got the 944 calipers installed on your car and they look great!!! Brad can fill in the details. I'm just the guy with the wrench and the camera. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

19mm.

If you go to the 23mm it will take both feet on the pedal to stop the car at a intersection from 10MPH. I personally want the pedal to move a little bit when I stand on the binders (heel/toe)

I think if you went with Big reds all the way around.. you would need a 23mm MC.

What we dont talk about: ALL late model Porsches use a vacuum booster to help with the braking. We dont have this in a 914...so installing a big MC will leave you with a very firm pedal and require a ton of force on it to make the car stop from normal speeds.
