Default Rear brake conversion
After purchasing Jon's Porsche brakes, i cant help but think the rears now look pathetic.
Would i be able to fit porsche rears ?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Porsche-911-VW...item45f0b6be50

Is it a just a case of making a bracket to fit them, similar to whats used for the Brembo conversion ?

Thanks

I don't think it's as easy as at.

i'm going for the brembo 2 pot with the 315mm disc

Ask Ian at Godspeed. He may be able to help. He already sells the BREMBO rear kits and could probably make up a set.

Godspeed is a good idea, he'll be able to sort something out for you. AP 4 pot or brembo 4 pot on the rear, painted the same colour as your fronts

Andy at Ace does the proper Brembo brackets. Track down some Rear STi brembos and discs paint them to match the fronts and job done

The one piece brackets Andy has are much better than the other types out there IMO , but i'm a little bias because i designed and prototyped them
