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. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) The 911 brakes sure look nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Also would you get 15 or 16 fuchs?

I was told I will need spacers on the rears. Is this true? Regards, james Don't know why you would need spacers. Most of the five lug guys that have narrow bodies that I know don't have spacers. The only guys I know that use those have flares. I agree with Andy on the 195s. Personally I would go with th 50s but I like the sportier look and ride. |
