Brake upgrade! 1978 SC with dp motorsport engine

Hi

I will need new brakes for my SC. It's gonna end up with a whigt around 1000 KG witch is about 2000 pounds

I have a dp motorsport engine - puting out about 430 BHP.
What would be the right upgrade ...... remember im on a budget here so ceramic isn't what im looking for

Would 930 after 78' do the job? S4 brakes? 993tt ?

Where can i do a good deal on theese items?

Thanx

You don't necessarily need new brakes. You may just need to optimize your existing brakes. When I put the modded 930 engine in my SC everyone told me I needed big brakes. What I found out is that sense I almost never track the car the brakes are just fine (for the street).

Put on some realy good pads and give it a try before you spend the big bux.

I installed 79 930 floating rotor brakes in my SC. My car weighs around 2900 lbs. I love the brakes. They work perfectly and they look good also.

I think if you installed a set of those they would be fine for your car. I don't know where to get a deal, they are kinda expensive.

probably, S4 would use the same rotors so not much better,

Next step up is either Brembo Big Reds or GTP

I just noticed that Stoptech appears to have a 911 kit as well, but I have no info on it
