Ok I am starting to play. So I purchased the complete suspension from a drilled 5 lug conversion (complete front including rack and rear trailing arms with drilled 5 lug hub). My plan was to buy a sway bar, tubro tie rods, koni adjustable and then replace entire front suspension. I thought I was clear on what I was going to do.
Today I found a great deal on a freshly rebuilt 72 911 front suspension with 911 sway bar and torsion bars. It is a complete suspension minus steering rack and tie rods. So I am thinking I should install the 911 stuff. Or should I mix and match parts.

QUOTE Ok, so based on your experience, if I install 911 suspension... Will 15x6 or 16x6 fuchs just fit... No Problems? Based on the suspension you mentioned earlier? No problems. While I'm a personal fan of 15's; it's for a weird reason. You might find a better tire selection with the 16's. Again, I'll go back to my original post and say, all this totally depends on what you want to do with your car. A lot of people weighing in with their suspension choices have flares cars with sometimes fairly massive 6's. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) It's important that you make a choice based upon what you will be doing with your car... it's a choice you'll have to live with. The choice for my car is/may be very similar to theirs but, what I would advise others of may be different. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
