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? |

What size front torsion springs should I go with 21mm? I think that I swapt out my oem's w/ a pair of used 18 or 19 mms about 6 yrs ago. Just trying to get a good balance. Were oem torsion springs for all 911's incl. 1988 19mm? thanks, Pete (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
