One limit is your car has 3" struts. To run "larger" brakes, ie, SC, Carrera, 930 and others, they use a 3.5" strut spacing for the caliper bolts.
While you mention massive flares, and a 2.4 S (maybe 180-200hp?), you don't mention how you use the car. Street fun? AX? Track events (where heat sink is an issue)
What diameter wheels are you running?
While I LOVE the 930 brakes on a 914, I think due to age, some of the parts are getting quite expensive. However, they can fit under 15" wheels.
If running 17" or larger wheels, 993TT brakes could be your "ultimate" set up.
I ran 84-89 Carrera rotors and calipers (front and rear) on my 914-4 with a 2056 motor (120hp). I used the car for AX and DE and thought the brakes an excellent match. More than enough power for 205 width tires. Also upgraded master cylinder.
The other issue with 914s is that they are relatively light, so they don't really *need* overly large brakes, imho.
