Yes, its more like jmr says, spot-on actually.
Just run it as is, it will be fine, but if you want more total brake action and less locking up the front tires, another possibility that just costs about 50-100 euros is to use a 944 brake master cylinder. Those have 23mm cups for the front brakes and that will lessen the front brake action somewhat, so bias will improve and pedal travel will be even less.

@jmd my rear fender are 6cm wider..
The rear rims were 4cm to wide each side.. That 8cm in total..
My option were smaller wheel or what i did..
If i have on 1 day other wheels i can change the 944 suspension back..

@ Wally.. My master cilinder is from csp and it was order by Frank from franky's vw service after he know witch brake set-up i have on my bug.


I'm gonna wait and look how the bug drives and brakes..
I'm going to be carefull.. And maybe in the future change some parts..

Thx
