what is the difference from the 914 to 911 front suspension?
why swap?
slightly beefier torsion bars
vented brake options
5 lug wheels
mostly the bigger brakes and VENTED rotors
so the spindles are not the same? you cant swap the hubs and rotors?

negative. big negative. 914 rotors have the bearings built in 911's have hubs...bearings in the hubs....and the rotor bolts to the hub |
You can just buy the 911 strut and hubs so you can run the vented rotors and calipers. The A arms can stay 914 as they have a different spline pattern than the 911 ones.
or you can wait until the store makes some adapter hubs in a 5 bolt pattern.
Me, I have given up and bought the 911 stuff.
ALSO mounting for brakes is a biggie, stock 914 is 3" spacing, 911 74 thru 89 is 3.5" spacing, that means many more options for brake upgrades like the 911 guys use!

I think only the splines on the ends of the torsion bars are different. I think that you can get the same "stiffness" torsion bars with either 914 A-Arms or 911 A-Arms. (of course, when one goes to coilovers, it is a moot point) |

so, i stand by my statement, 911 bars are slightly beefier (and noticable too) |

STOCK 911 Bars - 18.9mm STOCK 914 Bars - 17mm so, i stand by my statement, 911 bars are slightly beefier (and noticable too) |
my understanding of t/bars is that dia. of the splines will be consistant on the bar and the shaft dia will very with the rating of the bar, stiffer thicker/ softer thinner.

yes, 21,22,23mm bars are available in BOTH 30 and 29 spline applications (911/914-6 and 411/412/914-4 respectively)
