Hey i was wondering what kind of breaks would be best with the mods i am planning on doing. I am getting a V8 conversion kit on my 84 944 and I need to kow what breaks would work best. I am getting 18in Kahn wheels if that matters, well thanks for the help!

 

If you are going 18" go all out with the Big Red conversion kit. It will only adapt after a 17" or higher wheel replacement but its a 6 valve (all around) as opposed to the 2X4 like we have. This gives your 944 the same rotors and calipers the 996 has. :up: For the kit most dealers can tell you where to order them; the rotors and calipers purchased at your dealer, or online (I went NOPI.) But pads are up to you. I chose EBC's "Red Stuff."

I did some research on this a while back, here’s the thread:

Thanks man I will take that into consideration. I need something and I think this might be the one.

 

also is there going to be a problem with the break dust again cause i can't keep my rims clean now with all the black break dust there is. How mush do those run?

 

If you run a good semi-metalic pad there shouldn't be a dust issue. Hence why I choose EBC pads. As long a you spend a decent amount there should be no problem, just don't go too cheep. And know you product beforehand.

 

You are going to lose the power assist on the brakes when doing the conversion.

The word is BRAKES, BREAKS is what 944s do on a regular basis.

Big Reds will be incredibly hard to push with no power assist and they are a 4 piston caliper, not 6 as our yougn friend would lead you to believe. For that matter stock NAs dont have a 2X4 (whatever the hell that is supposed to mean).

 

I get the feeling if you take certain peoples' advice "break" is what your car will do.

 

I think you should put "certain peoples'" in quotes too.

 

BREAKS.. are those like DISKS? 5.25 Floppys?

 

And make sure they're not "CHEEP"

Awww. Cute little chickys. . . All going "cheep cheep cheep"
