Well, the car is still with his *ss up in the air awaiting the further modified tranny and an engine.
I have bled the brakes and the disks and calipers are very nice aligned right now (which was a big question mark at first too!).
There is a 1/4 mile track meeting on May 18th over here, so I hope to have tried and tested the brakes by then. Maybe just with a stock 2 liter engine (the riechert one) first as the turbo engine may take a tad bit longer to be completed.

I actually think these rear brakes will be less brake force than the 304x32 disks and M030/928S front calipers I had before. These yellow rear ones up front really have smallish cups (30/28 iirc), even compared to the 993 rear calipers (34/30) I have in the...rear
Hence the installation of the Tilton brake bias valve I have installed now with the new set-up. Depending on the bias, I may even use smaller rears (964 C2's?) afterwards.
I did think this through just a little bit you know
