Got my 944T brakes....now what do I do for the back?

$20 for a set of rotors coming from him as well. See, I am piecing it all together Question is, for those of you who use the stock rear drums, or the "stock" rear disc conversions, how does the stock master cylinder react to the Brembos? I've read some articles on the regular 944 brakes all around making the pedal feel spongy. But I couldn't find anything on the 944T conversions. Ya know, makes sense to use the matching MC for the brakes...

Which brings me to this question. If you swap to a 944T MC, how will it affect your braking on the rear end, being that it's pushing more fluid to the stock beetle rear drums(or converted discs) with less pedal effort. Additionally, braking ratio of the front to rear. Is it something I should be concerned with?

Particularly worried as I dunno of a kit that makes the 944T rear calipers work on the rear of a super, all of them are for the front end....or does that vdubcustoms kit ALSO work on the rear?

So many questions...arrrgh!

There are no kits because it all just bolts up, take off your drums and put the 944 brakes on. You can even use the Super trailing arm or the 944 one (if you use the 944 spring plate as well).

Kerscher and MBT, in Germany, sell a special valved m/c for this application.

Whoops, I meant to say, how do the stock drums react to a 944 cylinder? With less pedal effort, won't the rear drums(or discs) lock up WAAAAYYYY easier? I guess a proportioning valve should take care of it, but is it necessary?

I have no experience nor feedback of that set up, no one has done it before and although possible I wouldn't suggest doing it; save the front discs until you get the rear and are able to do them all at once.

That's what I was thinking of doing. I was also looking at the possibility of going turbo up front and NA in the rear...cheaper than Turbo all around, and well, it seems like the eBrake thing sounds a little easier, but I guess at that point, it's all about the same

keep it easy. go with NA all the way around. it is more than enough unless you are racing.
