Will the complete front suspension including brakes, struts and torsion bars from a SC/Carrera work on the front of a 914? I believe they will but want to get some feed back from those that have done it.
I plan on also converting the rear to 5 bolt with Eric Shea's setup. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Thanks |

The A-arms and torsion bars are a matched set. You can use 914 arms/bars OR 911 arms/bars with 914 or 911 struts. If all you want are 5-lug hubs and better brakes, you can just buy the struts/hubs/calipers/rotors. The 914 rack/crossmember/a-arms/bars can stay. Balljoints are also matched to the strut, and early 914 joints won't work with later 911 struts. Both types of balljoints will work with any 914 A-arms, though.

Yep again I have an 89 enitire front in mine, and the rear calipers also with venteed rears, don't need them, they where cheap coould not pass up. Heavy as all get out thou. What you trying to stop that fast, I am a firm beliver in never having too much brakes, but Carreras can be over kill if you don't need to stop a freight train on an acorn.
I like them the wife hates them, something about a brake check has pissed her off since day one. She asked "can this thing stop" I hit the brakes, and hauled her down fast, she did not see the humor of the situation like I did. The answer was yes! Stop now it does, hmmm Stephen |

Arrrrhhhh! Group: Members Posts: 4,327 Joined: 16-March 03 Member No.: 433 Region Association: None |
How much more does this suspension and and brake set up add over standard 4 bolt? Just curious. Is the extra weight worth the extra braking power?
