Default Brake Upgrade

I thought I would share a few photos of the new brakes on my car. If people are interested in the how / parts to do this, please shoot me a PM.

Cool ! I have a 23mm, but it puts the tubing facing down (toward the road) and I had to hammer out a big bulge in the front cover to accomidate it. I have to find a better way. Thanks !

I'm sorry, I have a 23mm from Smart racing. I rerouted all my lines when I put the new MC in.

Matt,
Why so secret? Tell us what you have done here. Looks like you welded in a mount. What is the story? Looks like a cool modification.

Not trying to be secret, just don't konw the level of detail everyone needs. They are Wilwood Superlites, Wilwood proportioning valve, AN adapters. Fronts bolt right up and rears have a new bracket welded on. What else would you like to know?

I would suggest this mod. to anyone looking to stop a 914 better. I have the basically same set up on my 6 and it is awesome! Matt did an amazing job on this car. Nice pics Matty and thanks for sharing!
