944 calipers on all 4's or Ghia fronts and 914 rears?

[Ephry73]

I have this dilema. I have the option to get early 944 calipers and rotors all around my Ghia, or Keep the fronts as they are, and use 914 rear calipers to have all wheel disc brakes. I have all of the parts, and the rims, just need to know what the overall consensus is on these. I have been looking at the early 944 design, and though the piston is a lot larger than the ones on the front of the Ghia, the Ghia calipers do have dual pistons. The rotors are far better on the 944 model, and are vented so there's that plus.

I am still trying to find a source for the rear brackets for the 914 calipers, but I do have the complete rear assembly of a 944, thus facilitating this conversion in the rear.


I have asked all around, and no one seems to know where to get the adaptors for the 944 calipers, and locally I cannot find a source for the materials, or a machine shop that would make them for me.


Thanks for looking.
