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? |

Good point about "which year" 930 suspension. Like all 911 years, it changed from year to year. With the current rise in prices, it will cost you more to buy "930 suspension" than to buy the suspension pieces you want for the front of your car. A good place to start would be to read Eric Shea's article on five lug conversion. It covers different front strut options and the brake choices you will have with the struts.
