Hello everyone,
I've scoured this forum dozens of times for info on 5 lug upgrades. Including the all your questions answered super thread on the subject. Talked to a knowledgeable fellow today and he said stay away from the 930 front end. It has undesirable anti dive geometry built in. He said go with early 911 suspension. Any thoughts on this? |

I have heard the anti-dive thing before. But we had some people who measured the parts and found the dimensions and angles were identical... There may have been some difference in how they were mounted, but the parts were supposedly the same.
I wouldn't bother with 930 stuff mostly because it's going to be more expensive than plain old 911 parts. And it won't be any better for our purposes. --DD |
