Hi there,
As winter job, I am planing to upgrade the suspension on my 6, which is stock. In fact, I also own a 4 2.0L . As the body is to be restored next year, I have all the suspensions already restored ( sand blasted, black epoxy painted, new shocks ) and fitted with Elephant racing polybronze kits. My question is: are the main parts (struts, wishbones, torsion bars and so on ) the same on the 4 and on the 6 ? And if differents, will they fit ? Thanks for your help, Jeff |

early struts 1972.5 and earlier are different from the later ones.
Early rotors and clipers are also different and so are the ball joints. the later setup has a better ball joint. I think the torsion bars and thus the a-arms and adjusters are all different between the /6 and the /4 The /6 is a 911 T setup I believe. Anything will fit on either chassis, but you cant mix and match struts, rotors, calipers and ball joints...they go as as set. Rich |
