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!

Hey Rip,

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

Thanks, Bart :agree:

Talking about doing it the hard way. :agree:
That should be great on a HighTech Bug. Together with the Traction control.

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!.
