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? |

The track is much wider w/the 930 and can only be used if the car flared. |

The 930 does have a wider track like some have said. The 930 parts are not cheap either. I had a 930 setup and sold it all because of these things. I instead went with the Boxster brake setup. It all works with either the 20 or 24 mm SC/Carrera rotors which are way cheaper to replace then the 930 ones. Get in touch with Rich Johnson he sells a hole setup. |
