QUOTE(Niklas @ Dec 10 2010, 09:51 AM)  What is the difference between 911 and 914 front suspension? Depends on which years you're talking about but the short list is as follows; - The struts have wider caliper mounting holes for bigger brakes (wider variety) - The cross-member is steel on the 914 and aluminum on the 911 - The torsion bars are splined differently so you have to know which when you re-spring the front. I've heard talk that there may be a bigger variety of 911 torsion bars than 914, but I've never had any trouble finding either. Perhaps I'm just lucky! - Shock inserts are different on the 914 but in general, the Boge struts can accept Bilstein or Koni inserts as long as they're meant for the 914 specifically. - Bilstein struts require Bilstein inserts. Apparently there was at least one year when the Bilstein's came on the car, or it could be ordered with them. I don't know those details. You can put 911 struts on the 914 bits. I have Bilstein struts on my otherwise original 914 A-arms. Regardless of which you choose, when the tie-rods are replaced, do it with a turbo tie rod kit. Others more anal than I will fill in the blanks in the above description Good luck |

Also, there are some years for the 911/930 that have an underbody sway-bar. To put this on a 914, you need the the cross member, sway-bar a-arms and the strut housing as one package as the a-arms have a different attachment for the sway-bar.
