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? |

QUOTE(brant @ Mar 5 2006, 07:24 AM) Pete, 19mm would be a good match for 180 rear springs. measure what you already have. if you in fact have 17.9 then consider upgrading to 911 A-arms and T-bars while you are there... but even if you have the stock 17.9's then that is not bad with the 180's either. brant Brant, Thanks for the advise on the 911 a arms. What other benefit is there for going w/ 911 a arms w/ their stock 19 mm t bars vs. going w/ (let's say) 21 mm t bars for the oem 914 a arms? note: I have compiled through hull sway bar assembly w/ all new bushings and hardware so I am not necessarilly looking to use an under body sway bar, although it seems easier to install. I have not yet removed any of my front end yet and my used front "1988 strut assemblies" come this week. I don't plan on getting to this part of the project for atleast month or two so I have time. thanks, pete |
