Rule,
I think what they are trying to do is to let you know that you have built an amazing car, and that they want you to fully understand the setup that you have and the way you have it setup. It's important to know that if you run the setup you have, you can get into a scary braking situation. You have built your system (very well) however with a possible error in the configuration. Can you drive the car as it sits? Yes, just do so carefully. And at the earliest opportunity I would advise a brake upgrade in the rear. Why did you decide not to run the 944 arms and calipers? I mean I know the wheel was to wide but why not run small offsets (wheel spacers this lets you run a bit wider fender in the rear, and who doesn't like a little wide ass-end). that would allow you to maintain the 4 pot rear caliper setup. And when you do upgrade that way, make sure you cut a brake balancer into the rear brake line. Sick build great pics. thanks for sharing, and drive safely. jmd

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

Your car is looking sweet and I love the choices in colour, very brave. The stance looks good, post us on the results on the test drive.
