Other brakes
 

Hey guys, I see almost only Porsche brakes on this forum.
I don´t wanna go that way. Do you use other brakes. I hear that you can use Volvo brakes up front. Any ideas?

Thanks, BART

well, you could probabaly use ANY brakes with enough machine work, but porsche brakes are good brakes and they are the easiest to retrofit. So, why make it hard on yourself?

Bart,

Check http://www.vdubcustoms.com. They have Mazda, VW & Posche brake kits.

Randy :D

I know Porsche are good brakes and easy to fit. But almost everybody is using them. I want good brakes but not something everybody else is doing.
Why go the easy way when there is a hard way!
Lets open our minds and be creative! Don´t run with the herd........

a few of us have opted for somthing different. i went 4 pot Rx7 brake, and people have done audi and bmw

How about ABS brakes?

Mmmmmmm.............Thats not even a bad idea!!! :cool:
Talking about doing it the hard way. :agree:
That should be great on a HighTech Bug. Together with the Traction control.

PS: I´m not kidding. That should realy be something................... :cool:

Traction control? ABS? WHAT???? might as well buy a new car if you want or need those comforts...hehehe. Would be interesting for sure though!

I have been eye balling some BMW aluminum calipers at work, but havent looked into bore sizes or anything indepth (mesurments....ect even) but the aluminum ones sure are light!.

Hey Rip,

Did you have to make adapters to install the RX7 calipers?
Can you give me some insides?

Thanks, Bart :agree:
