I use brakes hard, even on my wifes minivan (the Race Toaster). I think stock type 1 brakes are marginal for a car with any engine that runs! I have 944N/A brakes on my project, I think they will be adaquate on the street in my type 1. If I find I need more, I will get some big 4 piston Willwood calipers and mount them with the N/A disks (they are a good size and fit inside my 15" wheels). I think everyone needs stainless flex hoses and carbon/metalic pads for everyday driving, but hey, that's just me! When you are in fast traffic you need every advantage you can get!
