upgrading Type 3 Brakes ?????

Hey everyone. So what do you guys think is a good brake setup for a fastback. I have already got a 1972 setup on there but is old and needs renewing. Thoughts are, bigger front disks and calipers, maybe back disks and a brake booster. Has anyone put front disks and calipers from another car?

my fastback is a 71 and i have standard front discs and a sherman disc conversion on the rear without booster and the brakes are pretty good!!

I'm running early 944 brakes all round on mine, also fitted the porsche master cylinder to mine too. Makes for an awesome set of brakes but you'll have to go for the Porsche rims too.

The master cylinder and rear brake setup are almost a bolt on affair however the fronts do require abit of engineering to get on.

IMO well worth it.
