you guys are really quick to respond and I appreciate that...
can you tell me exactly what I need though...hubs, trailing arms, axles?...that is if I were to take it from a 911... this is going to be a track car and I feel that the 4 to 5 lug conversions would be weak...would I benefit from actual 911 parts strengthwise...also I want the final bolt pattern to be 5x130...do I get that with the machined conversion?...and is that conversion ever prone to breaking cause by stress the koni yellows are FTW...and spring options anyone?...also, I want used porsche atleast disk brakes all the way around...tell me what I need there... I'm looking at 2k for suspension, conversion, and brakes, thanks |
