I'd like to hear from guys who have upgraded their front ends and what they chose VS what engine's they are running.

I was looking at a 935 suspension setup tonight as a possibility.

I would like to at least mount the black Brembo brakes to the car, I don't think I'll need to go as extreme as the "Big Red's" for my 3.2 car. So if anyone can suggest what cars to get suspensions from to do this I would appreciate the tips!

I have 911 front end, aluminum crossmember, raised spindle RSR struts. coilovers, Wilwood billet superlites with 1.25X11.75 rotors on hats.

rear brakes are carreras.

The 944 turbo brakes are more than adequate for cars as light as these. I think the 930 pad and 944T pas are the same size, the 944 caliper is lighter..

the 935 front end is a waste for the applications you listed.

anyhoo get struts with 3.5 in brake mounts. You can radially mount or lug mount a wide range of calipers...alcon brembo,wilwood,ATe
