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? |

On my 71, I went with struts & brakes off a 72 911T.
These have 3 inch caliper bolt spacing and pinch bolt ball joint attachment. Kept my 914 control arms, ball joints and t-bars. I have a set of Alfa Romeo Brembo caliper to add down the road. If you get 73 or latter you get the taper pin ball joint attachment, which is better. I think 911 went to 3 1/2 inch caliper bolt spacing in 1975 but I am not sure. Jim |
