914-6 Brake Upgrade Options

Here's my story.

I have a 914-6 that's been garaged for the past 22 yrs. It was originally race / crossed and I made it road worthy in the late '80's. The tweaked 2.4S engine is out for a quick review. The chassis has HUGE, from what I understand, factory issued race flaring with 12" rear wheels and 10.5" front wheels. I'm looking into upgrading the brake system and putting the original equip. in mothballs. Cheaper to burn up available equip.

Research has lead me to many - many options. Everything from 930 to Boxster. All of these seem to require aftermarket brackets and upgraded master cylinder. I want to do this correctly the first time.

I just spoke with the guys at 911pcar.com, the advice was to run this by you, the specialists on this forum that know whats - what with 914's and 914-6's. Wait, the direct quote was "ask the guys on pelican because they've already done what your brain is just starting to try and think of."

My 914-6 currently has OEM stock brake system. Too spongy for huge rubber tires.

Please pass some knowledge.

Thanks,
