Change Suspension? Options

[Nohair]

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Hello- I am looking for the years of 911 front suspensions that can be bolted to the 914 front and is it really worth it to go the expense and work - can one just go to bigger brakes on the stock running gear and get the same brakeing power as the car is so light? Is the only thing you get with the 911 set up just bigger brakes and larger torh bars? I am new to the 914 thing although I have been reading about them for way too long!!!
any help would be great
thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

You get plenty of braking power with the stock brakes, but they don't cool as well as the vented 911 brakes. I wouldn't want to road race on non-vented brakes. However, as already mentioned, the main reason to change is if you want to run five lung. This gives you the ability to run big 911 wheels and a lot of rubber on the ground. This is usually done with an increase in power, which is usually about the time for some added braking power as well. If you're running stockish power and not road racing it, you should be fine with 4 lug.
As I understand it, any 911 A-arms and struts from 66-89 will bolt right up, but the brakes vary. It'd be a safe bet to run the brake calipers and rotors from the type of car the struts came off of. It makes the conversion easier, if a slightly more expensive. Someone else who knows more may chime in. I haven't done my 5-lug conversion yet.
