ok, I've decided to go 5-lug (phone dials). this will be on a stock-body car, but I might roll the fenders a little(<1") if the rims need it.
I plan to re-drill the rear hubs or buy some that are already drilled. on the front I hear often how bad adapters are, but would they work as a stop-gap until I find a 911 front end? I know 74+ front ends are what we are supposed to look for, is there a specific model to avoid? what is the going price for a 911 front end? I was basically thinking of getting just the strut tower and calipers. but do I need the whole steering rack? will my -4 ball joints, tie rod ends, shocks(koni yellow), etc bolt up? these are new, so I 'd hate to replace them if they are still usable on a 911 front end. |
