How do I know how big they are as to weather or not they will fit under my 14inch wheels? Any other brake kit options? Are there any kits that compare (or are better/worce) then the 914 stuff?

So far, the only vented rotors I've found for SB's are the Porsche 944 ones. Does anybody have any experence on the track/hard street with the aftermarket kits? How much fade is there? I want this thing to STOP.

???????
Who said that?
CSP might have a drilled rotor too. Most of the Ghia/914 brakes are 11 inch rotor. I have them on all 4 on my car. I haven't had it on the track but it will stop like hell.

It's a 1900 lb. car with 11 inch/2 piston per cal. brakes. I don't think you need much more than that unless you are short track or Auto-X racing.

That's a light car. No autoX here but I'm conserned about brake fade on track days (road race) and extra spirited canyon roads. Even with 11 inch brakes. I don't know why one would want to go bigger. Those are plunty big for this size of a car and all you have to do is not push as hard to lock them up with bigger brakes??
