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

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!

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
