Re: [T3] porsche break on a notch

<x-flowed>Hi Jonathan
I see that you own a Porsche, so if you don't recommend using the big 
reds, do you think using the same braking system that is in the '77 
911, same year as my dads 911, would be a good option? i Want to run 
17-7 Carrera cup wheels all around, if that makes any difference. 
Thanks

65 notch
