Power brakes for 944 setup...

[Shad Laws]

Hey guys-

I'm contemplating adapting some sort of power braking system to my 944 braking setup.

I have 1-pot 944 brakes all around (54mm front and 36mm rear calipers) and I have a 944 master cylinder (23.81mm front and 19.06mm rear). I also have SS lines and carbon/kevlar pads. Braking travel is excellent. Braking effort isn't bad, but having less would be nice :-).

Do you think adapting the 944 servo would be a good idea? Or, would looking into a pair of Hydrovac systems be a good idea? Or, am I just insane? (Hey, be nice :-).

The 944 servo makes the most sense, until you think about fitment. I venture to say that clearance with T3 steering is almost worse than a T1... possible, maybe, but not fun.

BTW, I tried the setup with a stock T3 master cylinder (19.06mm front and 19.06mm rear, just like T1 or early 911), and although pedal force was nice, there was WAAAY too much travel and spongyness.

Take care,
