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? |

I also want to be clear on the pricing for revalving:
For Bilstein's it's fairly inexpensive at $55-65 each. There's not much inside the standard insert to raise the cost. For the more intricate, adjustable Koni's it's $140 plus any parts that may be needed. Old Koni's might want to have the external adjustment knob added for an additional $30 (no brainer in my book) This is literally the cost of a new strut however, as we've mentioned in this thread, if you have a 911 Koni strut with the 3.5" mounting ears, there are no off the shelf 914 inserts for them so this revalve is the only way to go to get the best ride for your 914 (this is what I had to do). Here's the info: Koni NA 1961 International Way Hebron, KY 41048 859-586-4100 Talk to Gordon at x343 |
