Ok so I am upgrading to a 911 suspension (Seperate Thread http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=87337 ). Then I hear brake caliper bolt spacing 3.5 vs 3.0. So (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) WTF is 3" vs 3.5" Am I making a mistake going with 3.0 vs 3.5? I really don’t understand the issues. Do I care?
Thanks for real world opinions! Regards, James |

IMHO... Install the 72 911 suspension with the 3" M-Calipers and enjoy.

IMHO... Install the 72 911 suspension with the 3" M-Calipers and enjoy. Conflicts a bit with the stated desire to run a 911 underbody front antiroll bar. Easy path on that is probably suitably new 911 A-Arms with the bar mounts. I suppose new/replacement bar mounts are available for attachment to bare arms tho. I don't get the attraction of the underbody concept but that's just me. Of course - 1972 A-Arms are also probably approaching their service life on rubber bushings, which open up its own slippery slope... I agree with you on the struts & brakes. |
