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? |

Try Jack French at Bilstein he can be reached at 1-800-537-1085
If you purchase new struts you can generally tell the supplier that you want them revalved by Bilstiein and that you have the specs that Jack French at Bilstein needs. Price will be the cost of the struts, plus the shipping to Bilstein. The revalve fee is usually $65 per strut and then you will have return shipping charges from Bilstein to you. If anyone already has the struts you can send them to Bilstein yourself and your revalve fee is a little less at $55 per strut. Send them to: Krupp Bilstein of America 14102 Stowe Dr. Poway, Ca 92064 Attn: Jack French They will only work on your struts if you pay the revalve fee in advance or use a credit card. Regarding your street/autocross car. I would recommend a stock 15mm or at the most a 19mm sway bar. Regarding bushings... your choice. They're both excellent. |
