944 N/A brakes to 1303 questions (yet another)
Ok so i have been searching the forums and kinda have an idea of whats need to bolt on early 944 brakes front and rear.
- So i need the calipers, rotors, backing plates, and spindles for the front, and then just the calipers, rotors for the rear? - the kersher ball joints (19mm?) for the front - addaption of the hand brakes (from kersher or home brewed) on the rear Is this ALL thats needed? How about the M/C? will the stock 74 super unit be good? or will i need to use a 944 M/C? and they have rebuild kits for these brakes right? |

I got my caliper rebuild kits from www.autohausaz.com for $45 for all four calipers.
I would use a bigger master cylinder since the caliper fluid volume is much greater than your stock brakes. I'm going to use a 911 master cylinder.

My bad... so is everything i listed correct other than the size of the kerscher ball joints? And would a 944 M/C work well? (is it is from those brakes) would it "bolt on" or will i need to mount it differently? |

The Kerscher ball joints are a must have for this conversion. I'd suggest the 944 M/C for the NA brakes. There have already been plenty of posts that describe how to install it.

944 M/C with a servo (brake booster)? or without a servo? i was talking to some one about this and he said to use it with a servo, and use the vacume from the intake manifolds to run the servo. he was saying you would get a HARD pedal without the servo... are you guys using servos?

I bought a 1987 911 sc master cylinder with servo for my car. I wanted power brakes. I had a real hard time finding room for the servo when the master cylinder alone just bolts on. I had to cut and reweld the pitman arm to clear the m/c. It wasn't worth it for me. The 944 servo might be smaller in diameter so you might have better luck.

i'm running a 944 m/c with 951 brakes. haven't driven it yet, but will let you know in a few weeks. no servo. mine is not a daily driver so less concern about a hard pedal.

I put 944 calipers on the front of <---that car. I used the stock M/C with NO problem whatsoever.
I don't think power brakes are nessecary. The car could weigh anywhere from 1700 to 2200 lbs. With Brake calipers and rotors designed to haul down a 2700 lb car, pedal effort would still be on par with, or less than a 944 equiped with power brakes. Non assisted brakes have a better feel IMO. SuperVW, If you are using 944 rear brakes, will you be using 944 trailing arms? Yetibone

I dont plain on using the arms, just the brakes. So what are you using for the rear, as it sounds like your only using the fronts from a 944? Later Jonathan |
