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? |

IMHO.....swapping over to the 930 front end and parts are really only for very serious big track guys or for bragging rights (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
One positive of the the 930 front hubs is that the track is two inches wider due to the hub being of a different design....this way for guys running GT flares and 15x7 or 16x7 rims you can bring the wheel further out to increase the track and fill up the fender well without using spacers. For your average Joe, regular 911 front suspension will be fine...if you want a little more, then get an SC or Carrera suspension...both of these also give you the option to easily upgrade to Big Reds or Monoblocks. |
