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? |

I converted my 71 914 to 911 a-arms, torsion bars, aluminum crossmember mainly for the sway bar which fits right onto the a-arms without drop links. This configuration really stabilized body roll and firmed up the ride.
For my 74, I'm going with a complete front end from an 88 Carrera including the struts, calipers, and vented rotors, 5-lug hub, aluminum crossmember, a-arms, torsion bars, and I may even use the steering rack. Spoke Attached image(s) |
