I want to upgrade my front suspension to 911 level what would you do e.g. brakes, tie-rods, rotors, sway-bar, etc? The complete front-end street and some track. What would you recommend?

Regards,

James

From the inside going out rack spacers, turbo tie rods, new ball joints, Elephant Bushings or FullMotion, Koni Yellow Adjustables, Camber adjustable monoballs, Tarrett Bar, for brakes if you are still stock 4 cylinder good pads, and good service level. If you can lock 'em don't knock 'em!

I have all of the above, used the Elephants, and the front feels sooooo nice. I have S calipers on there too which making braking easy. I also have 23mm hallow torsion bars. You may want to do 21 hollow if it is more of a street car but I still drive mine on the street and it feels fine as long as the road isn't chitty.

Free Motion Rocks! But my Master Plan ($50 being sent via Paypal) includes the rears... How long before you make that available???

but sort of related due to Muster Plon (Take me to court like Mac Dowells)

Beautiful stuff but this guy doesn't need FreeMotion ... He is only trying to get to 911 level handling. He can do that by letting the air out of one of his tires. Then just like a 911 you don't know what the hell it is going to do in a corner!

Watch it Mister...

Oh I love mine too! But you have to admit, it depends on her mood whether she is going to understeer or oversteer in any given corner. Sometimes both...


Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! As I swap ends...
