suspension/brakes, 911 to 914 suspension swap Options

[ModPR3]

i was wondering if anyone had a parts list or price of the cost to swap in a front 911 suspension and brakes. also what years 911s are the best to use for parts.

I think your getting slow/no replies because this one has been covered so many... so many... times.

you'll have to buy wheels too.
the suspension usually needs all the little extra's done... like shocks, ball joints, tie rods.

figure 500 for basic suspension if you get the good stuff with brakes.
then another 500 for extras, rotors, pads (maybe more even)
then alignment, wheels, tires, lug nuts.

so it can range anywhere from 500 to 2000 depending upon how you do it.

regarding year.
most people recommend going with 3.5 caliper spacing which mostly came on the later years 78-89. but again, early stuff can work fine and might save a few dollars. you probably at least want to stay away from the really early stuff that is very different (a-arms) and has non vented brakes and the early ball joints. so go 72 or later for M calipers, or 78later for A calipers.

of course there are variations out there such as S calipers etc.
but do a few searches. this is very well covered.
and there are always options to save a buck if your like most of us. For example, you could go with 4x 6inch cookie cutters for like 200/set and save about 600 off of the price of the same size fuchs.
