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? |

Just came across this thread. Lots of great info. I have a qustion that (kinda) fits in this thread : Is a 911 front swaybar (of the early through-body design) the same as the 914 swaybar, or at least similar enough to work with a stock 914 front end ? I know I'll need to remove the gas tank and do some drilling/cutting as described in the PP tech note, and also that I'll need to add the U-tabs to attach the drop links to the A-arms. But I just wanted to make sure that a) The geometry of the bar is the same (pretty sure it is) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) The drop links from the 911 bar will fit the U-tabs. Based on what I've learned here, I'm pretty sure it will work, but I really don't want to find the hard way if I'm wrong.. Also, is a 15mm sway bar decent for a street car ? Thx |
