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?
