Yah, with the 944 single pots you need to run 15"+ wheels.

Sounds like a fun project though! Early cars with a little modern twist are sweet.

Nothing special, a complete set of brakes for a 944 font in a junk yard, I've refreshed the all batch and installed it, all the rear is a "plugg and play" , you just a have to modify the end of the kand brake cable, for the front, I'm machined a set of CB perf springles and the 944 and welded both together...

I drive that car since many year without any problems...
