4-Lug Brake upgrades

I tried to post this in the Karmann Ghia forum and didn't get exactly what I was looking for, perhaps you guys could help

?

Thanks all,

I guess what I really meant to ask was, has anyone tried to do upgrades like the one on Pelican Parts.com where the 914 crowd has used BMW 320i calipers on the 914 rotors? I am thinking of going this way as a means of keeping the original rotors/bolt pattern and gaining hopefully a lot more braking power. Reading the article, I get the impression that this is almost a bolt on since the 914 and Karmann Ghia used the same calipers/rotors. I guess I should clarify using the 914-4 model only. Anyone used this or something like it? I will try to post this on the 'Euro Look' part of this forum.

Thanks again,

Kelly

Hi,

You can use Talbot Horizon calipers for better braking power!\
Michael Ghias site has detailed conversion info.
