Need confirmation about which m/c to use
Hello,
Doing a search tells me that people are using either the standard super master cyclinder or the 944 n/a m/c after doing a disc brake upgrade. I have a '72 1302 with 1986 944 turbo calipers and discs and would like to know which m/c to use. I do not have the 944 m/c. Which should i use? If the 944 is suggested, is it off the n/a or turbo car? thanks

I guess YOU will have to decide for yourself who gets closest to your set-up, who to believe and/or what to mount first time. Its all custom what you do anyways, so there is no generic answer for your q's imho. I personally have the best results with a stepped 944 M/C with reverse mounted (front x rear) brake lines... A brake balance device would fine-tune it even more. |

Try the standard one first, you have nothing to lose and the bits are already there! I am very happy with the stock m/c with 996 brakes..

The reason the 996 brakes work better with regard to brake balance is probably because of the similar engine/weight layout of a 911 against a 944 compared to a beetle's |

This is the set-up that I am about to install. Are you using the stock super beetle m/c? I've heard that it works fine.

the front NA944 caliper cylinder is much bigger than the rear. So why would you switch the front for the rear on the M/C if the larger section is feeding the fronts? I am just assembling mine with a 944 M/C now so some confirmation would be good |

I think he ment that he switched the brake lines front and rear, not the calipers. Maybe?

Maybe length? I dunno. I'm using steel braided ones made for the Super.
