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? |

Again, something's missing here. I 'think' you have modified 911 'Boge' struts. The 911 spindle being the key. You would need the much thicker 911 spindle to put the 5-lug goodies on this strut. Otherwise... too much effort to simply make the equivalent of a 911 'Boge' strut. (18mm is the highest you can go with 15" wheels BTW... both cars are sitting in the garage with the wheels on them) Maybe you could have Rich clarify... I don't want to mislead people. |
