So if I want to get the 3.5 inch spacing what year struts do I need to be on the look out for? And what ones will work with the 1971 vintage front end that is in the car? Or does any one have a line on a set of spindles cheap and I will put them on the struts I have (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif)

Couldn't you get struts & spindles from a '78-'89 911, and a set of new later ball joints? I thought the A-arms were the same for all 914 vintages.
These later 911 struts may be easier to find than 67-69 S stuff, and it may be a good idea to change out them ball jts anyway.
Get the rotors too if they're still in good shape, and you can buy the 911 calipers with it, or get a set of '86 944 turbo calipers. I think with these 944 turbo calipers you still got to use the 911 rotors but I'm not 100% sure about that.
