Why 944?

[Panelfantastic]

Bruce, you are not helping the cause. You are shooting holes in years of mind washing and convincing that the Porky brakes are the only way to go. If my wife reads this, there is no way I will get to waste tons of money on the oversized eye candy/brakes I want. How dare you back up your blasphemy with actual comparisons and facts!


(I know Bruce has sense of humour, to anyone else who is offended, I'm only funnin' with Bruce about the brake debate)

Hi

Ive got say that I was pretty unimpressed with E brake on my steel 944 arms that I had on my 1302. They would not lock the rear wheels and would not slow the car at speed, but they held OK on hills, I suspect that this was something to do with the VW lever - 944 E brake ratio.

Im going to use 944 system complete on my new car with the E brake lever mounted next to the drivers seat between the door, this might make entrance into the car a pain in the arse (in more ways than one).

When I had Porsche brakes on my 1302, I learnt to lip read, when I pulled up in traffic you could see people in other cars saying that bug has Porsche brakes on it.
