If your car stops well and parts are okay, I wouldn't worry. If parts are worn out or if you autocross or time trial occasionally I would recommend the following: New 19mm master cylinder($90), new OEM rubber lines($25), BMW 320i front calipers(see PP article)($100), Tee to replace the prop vave($13), DOT 4 fluid such as NAPA($10) and Metal Master pads(semi metalic)($75 for all wheels). This setup keeps the 4 bolt hubs which is a big cost factor. Both our 914s have all the above, one is my daughter's daily driver and autocross car the other is a dedicated track car. Both stop like they have had an anchor thrown out the back with no rear wheel lockup. Unless it is a dedicated track car with lots of maint to be performed, I would stay with the factory flex lines. Metal Master pads are a good compromise with little dust, easy rotor wear and no squeal when cold and they handle repeated stops very well with no hi temo degredation. Others will probably recommend other items, so I would find a shop close to where you live and can trust and let them provide some guidance too.
