Ghia front disc w 944 rears
 

Hello, I have 944 brakes front & rear that I want to install. My Ghia has new dropped spindles and I dont want to buy 944T items for the front. Can I use the Ghia fronts with the 944 rears? My car is not a road racer (I'm just a poser). In the future I might switch to Suby power, just not now. My wheels are 16" C2s and I wanted to lose the adpts. I have a set of T1 Porsche drilled rotors. If I stay with theT1 MC do I need a proportion valve? Should I switch to a 944 MC (has 23mm f/19mm r)? If I do that will it have the correct bias? Is anyone else using this set-up?
Thanks

bt,
I'm interested in this question as well. I vaguely recall seeing something posted here by Ricola about this very topic. I think he said that on his Ghia the 944 rears with the Ghia fronts provided a good balance using the stock T1 M/C. I plan to go this route as an intermediate step, eventually putting 4-piston Mazda calipers on the front. At that point I'll switch out to the 944 M/C. Lanner (username flat) from VDubEngineering would be a good person to ask too.

I did that on my speedster for a while and it worked better than when I eventually got the 944 fronts on! Bear in mind my front end was quite light tho'.. oh, I used a stock m/c until I put the 944 fronts on which required more volume.

Thanks for the replys.
For all that are thinking about doing this, it can be done. Using the T1 MC will make the brakes spongy. You need to use a MK1 Golf /Rabbit MC that has a 20.64mm piston. I dont know what year MC. I have not done this myself but I contacted www.vdubengineering.com and they told me it can/has be done. And that it is a good system for my needs. They are one of the leaders of VW brake conversions. So I trust them. When I do my conversion I will take pics.

hi , ive done this for a customer of ours , 72 ghia stock discs on the front and cast iron slide calipers (944)on the rear. we even came up with using a type3 hub carrier machined down to fit 944 vented disc so we where able to still use stock rims 4x130 pcd , all most looked factory, worked really well with the light ghia front end aswell. all the best Lee, www.laperformance.co.uk
