Just got through reading the archives about 5 lug conversions and something I'm still not clear on is the statement that some 911 struts won't work with 914 A-arms and 914 ball joints. Can someone expand on this? I'm thinking that I'll look for 3.5" caliper spacing Koni strunts, but I don't wanna pay for 911 A-arms and steering rack just to have more torsion bar options and light rack. I think there's plenty of torsion bar options for my needs in the 914 world.

the A-Arms are the same, dimensionally, but the torsion bar splines are different.
the ball joint must match the strut.

that's pretty much it...
