I have access to a complete front suspension off a 1974 911. I read I can just remove the hubs, calipers, and struts and use those with the existing 914 parts. Is there any noticeable difference to just remove the entire thing and transplant it, or do those 3 parts really cover the reasons to do the conversion (brakes, 5 lug).
It's a 99% street car, /4 at the moment, /6 3.0L in the future. Thanks. |

Buy the whole thing and bolt it in. All you are getting is larger torsion bars and the valving on the shocks matches them. Remove the rack that comes with it as the input shaft is longer / shorter than the 914 (don't remember which) and just use the 914 rack.
or You can just use the strut assemblies and mate them to the 914 "A" arms as long as the ball joints are the same style on your 914. |
