Suspension swap, Swap 911/930 front suspension to my 914 Options

[spyder9014]

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?

"We will use the "A" spindles I have with a 914 Boge tube. In this combination you can use the 914 Koni Sport insert for proper valveing range and still raise the spindles. I have good luck setting the spindle height at 17mm for 15" wheels and 19mm for 16s and above."

Now it's beginning to make sense. He welds the entire 911 spindle on a 914 strut.

Ricky, this is still a 'LOT' of work when:

1.) Most narrow body cars will 'never' need anything more than an M-Caliper hence a 3" 911 'Boge' front end.

2.) The cost of the mods should well exceed the cost of specially valved inserts for your original front end.

I think what you have is a neat setup. I also think you're misleading people when you say a 911 front end makes a 914 ride harsh. It's simply not true. For me, custom valved Koni's are a much more viable and much less expensive alternative.

Thanks for clarifying.
