Big brakes on a 914 without changing your suspension is now a reality!
Yes, with your stock 914 suspension, you can bring real braking capability to your 914-4, your 914-6, or converted big HP V8 914 without having to change your suspension!
The years of digging through local adds, salvage yards, eBay, Craigslist, and others looking for the illusive 911 front suspension with the proper bolt spacing and in decent condition just to get bigger brakes... Well - they are over! Furthermore, if you are looking in vain for that later air-cooled 911 front suspension AFTER you have tried the extremely disappointing 'upgrades' offered routinely to the 914 community, here is your answer.
Renegade Hybrids has a brake conversion kit that will allow YOUR 914 suspension to accept HUGE 996 four piston calipers front and rear AND the monster 996 vented rotors! Yes, not only have we designed our kit to work with the very popular and effective 996 calipers, but we are also matching the calipers to the 996 rotors for the perfect pairing as originally designed!
Gone are the days of the stock non-vented rotors that transfer massive heat into the hubs and cook the grease out of your bearings. Gone are the episodes of catastrophic brake fade due to the cherry-red rotors cooking the brake fluid in your sub-standard calipers. Gone are the piss-poor choices of brake pads and compounds limited to low-performance vehicles. AND FINALLY... Gone are the constant searches for random brake parts and suspension needed to put together a piece-meal brake system that will likely work only marginally better than the original stock brakes. Do it one time...and do it RIGHT. This is what we truly believe in, and our families drive the same roads as yours!
With our brake upgrade kit, we change the four-lug stock pattern to the stronger standard five-lug Porsche 130mm pattern which allows for many more choices of rim-and-tire combinations, and the potential for a much better contact patch. When using most 17 inch or bigger rims over your 996 calipers and rotors front and rear, more brake venting is possible to dissipate heat. With that larger diameter rim, you also gain access to tons of performance tire manufacturers with dozens of sizes not offered in the smaller diameters. Finally, with the shorter tire sidewall profile when using the larger diameter rims, styling and performance become an instant reality.
If you've managed to make it this far, you are also cost conscious! We've even got that covered as well!!! With the 'other' brake upgrade kits out on the Internet, most will require you to move to a 5 x 130 Porsche pattern rim, correct? That means you'll need tires as well, yes? Plus, you will be required to change your front suspension to later air-cooled 911 bits, right? And you will still need to purchase the adapter kit, calipers and rotors, correct? Then, all you get is a band-aid brake system that falls short when you really need it.
We remove the largest financial component - the illusive 911 front suspension and provide you with a fully-matched brake kit that actually works! That’s a savings of 1000’s of dollars and valuable time!!!
Renegade Hybrids knows what is needed to address true performance in your 914. After all, we've been smokin' tires for 40 years!
