I'm thinking of converting the Zambezi Green car over to 5 lug Fuchs (no flares) and am trying to understand if 5 lug suspension pieces are really necessary versus just drilling the current hubs?
This will not be a track or autocross car...simply a driver. I actually do have the parts to convert (struts and stuff from a 1970 911); however, I was just wondering if there is any reason to actually make the conversion for a street driver. Other than the benefit of getting the bigger 911 brakes on the front, is there a strength, reliability, adjustability, etc. issue? Thoughts? |

screw in works for me, and according to Eric's article it makes more sense.
