What are the benefits of using 911/930 front suspension on a 914.
I have installed gas shocks, turbo tie rods but I have seen it recommended to use the 930 front suspension. Is this just to get the brakes or is this for struts/brakes/torsion bars? If I upgrade the calipers and rotors will it be just as good as a complete swap? |

Most guys do the 9eleben front end to get bigger brakes/vented rotors and 5 bolt wheels.
You can do strut only....which bolts to the 914 A arms (73 & later). You can use 911 A arms, which gives a wider selection of torsion bars. You can also use the aluminum rack support from the 911...it all bolts in. Caliper selection is very limited for the 914 struts. The caliper mount spacing is 3 inches. The 911 strut to caliper mounting is 3.5 in. |
