performance brake options for BJ front
what are the options? I have an oval on a IRS BJ pan with 7 and 8 " porshe wheels and a 2332 engine . GL forums go on about 951 and 944 cliper mods
but on strut fronts , are they a good performance mod for BJ also ? Or too expensive ? What ideas? all appreciated.

Mitch, I'm putting 944 S2/turbo disks, hubs and brembo calipers on the front and rear of my Cabrio. Its probably overkill, but I cant resist red
Porsche calipers peeping out through 17' Porsche Turbo Twists.
Let me know if you want more info.
Cheers
Steve

I probably went with a more "off the shelf" option and fitted CB performance discs in porsche pcd. Easy installation - wouldn't pull you up as well
as brembos but you just have to weigh up the cost/ease of installation and figure out what suits you/yourself best. Good luck - make sure you upload
some pics which ever way you go.

Im considering the CSP disc kits.
After seeing the quality of the kits in this months VolskWorld, they do a whole 'how to' on fitting them, they look the bees-knees!

i've got single piston ATE Porsche calipers, hubs and rotors with tilton master cylinders and it looks the part but I'll be going turbo calipers
 the lathe work required to get the hubs on your spindle should be 400ish
so I think this is one of the best and cheapest brake upgrades. |

the guys at vforce are using Alfa Romeo twin pot brembos at the front on some of their cars. Uses a ventilated disc and the pad is a fair bit bigger
than beetle discs

Brembos come standard on Alfas, they do stop well though. somewhat better than my 4 wheel Drums on the '62 Beetle. |
