Reply to "911 cooling mods"

Joel, I may be able to make it to Bear mountain June 3, but it always depends on the weather and my kids....

 

Al, thanks. Airkewld are solid, drilled discs front and rear, no option for vented. They stop well, I have a high and solid pedal(braided lines help here). They seem to be very easy to modulate and really pull you down, but they are wider than stock by a good amount, about 3/4" a side. The CSP solids I had are 3/8" a side wider than stock. My existing front wheels had the centers moved out to push the tires in a bit, and now I need to move them more, as I have some rubbing issues on the front now. They were easy to install, the only thing I had to do was get longer rear hoses, and slightly mod the e-brake cables, as well as trim the inner fenders a bit for the calipers. Fronts are bolt-on.

 

Bleeding is straightforward, but you need to have somebody pump it well to get all the air out of the rears. The front Wilwood 4-pots have a bleeder for each side of the caliper. I mounted the rear calipers with the bleeder facing up so I wouldn't have to do the usual move-the-caliper gymnastics for bleeding.

 

I still haven't bed the brakes in yet, have been driving conservatively due to the rebuilt trans and tire rubbing. I should be changing the gear oil this weekend to some Redline High Shock Load synthetic.
