I will never go that fast with stock brakes again, which, brings me to my point. Is it possible that even though you upgrade to a Porsche brake system, that with the stock Porsche disk brakes they might crack and smoke the same?

Just wondering:D

But non the less, disk brakes are way better than drums.

NAAAH! Porsche 944 brakes are made for a 2800lb car, a Super weighs a tad over 2100. Porsche brakes on any bug are just a shade under overkill.

Hummbug went thru 3000 hard miles before the machine marks wore off the rotors!

Really.

Hmmm... I like that, it puts a warm fuzzy in my tummy:silly:

Okay, 15.000 miles with Pagid fastroad (stock) pads in 4pot Brembo's front and rear. Front pads look good for another 100.000 miles, front stock 951 discs worn ~1.8mm rear brakes no visible wear! Braking in my '03 Kab has been :silly: daily for nearly 2 years.

I have the confidence to whack the anchors at over 80mph on a dry road, no sweat.

Overkill? argument around here is well buried ;)
