(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) Nohair |

I think a small and easy upgrade is replacing the 17mm torsion bar with 19mm. Really helps keep the car tight on the road.
I just rebuilt my stock front suspension with new boge shocks, new A-Arm bushings, new ball joints, new brakes, and new cross drilled rotors, repainted the struts and A-arms, new wheel bearings- it's all 4 lug and it works great. I think I spent about $800 to make it all new again- and that's just the front end. |
