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(rickyhgarcia @ Mar 31 2006, 04:50 PM) 225lbs...275lbs rear springs? On a lightweight car as the 914...isn´t that overkill? Besides, I´ve always thought that rear springs and front torsion bars should go hand in hand for the suspension to work OK. I have always seen the combination of 23mm torsions to 180lbs springs. So for these bigger springs, what torsion is required? I´ve never seen torsions bigger than 23mm... he has a V8 and wider rear tires...he's using the stiffer rear springs to get the rear of the car "upset" so that it is easier to swing around |
