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? |

Brant,
Final front end suspension. 1988 struts New pads, bearings, seals, and flex hoses New Zimmerman cross drilled rotors. I am painting the rotor hats red. 1988 calipers rebuilt and painted red koni adjustable red inserts new 197? 911 a arms w/ the old through body tabs for my oem through body sway bar. - My car didn't come with one thus I will be installing that too. - I kept the bushings and front and rear brackets from the 88' 911 a-arms as they were in much better shape. I don't like the poly or bronze? bushings as I personally find them to loud as far as transfering vibration. I have 2 different through body sway bars one oem diameter and another a monster. my old 74' 914 cross bar in great shape. turbo tie rods bump steer kit all rusty old parts have been dropped off for bead blasting and powder coating in gloss black. I will post pics when all is assembled. Pete |
