Brake question

Hi all, I am thinking about going with bigger front and rear caliper and rotors. Can anyone steer me in the direction what I should be looking for. Mine is a 1969E. Is there other years of Porsche that will fit if I find rotor, Caliper and brackets.

Thanks

If you have not increased the power of the engine substantially, you don't need bigger brakes, especially if you primarily drive it on the street. That said, there are several recent threads about upgrading brakes that will give you some ideas of what you might do.

Look at the Alfa Brembo thread over on Early911sRegistry.org. I put Boxsters on my 67. Have a friend looking for calipers for a 73.5. Easily doable with some cash.
