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?

1976 930's have 1976 911S brakes with spacers to widen the track..
and 18mm sway bay through the body...this would be a sweet find..

you would need to install shorter studs though..
