Hello 914W,
I am going to update the suspension in my '73 914 6 conversion. It's got a 3.0l in it, dual PMO's, Cayman 4 piston calipers and 911 discs, 321 ignition, Patrick Motorsports conversion kit and front oil cooler kit, running 16" Ultralights to accommodate the brake rotors. Sway bars F & R as well. I am doing some suspension upgrades and wanted suggestions on what suspension components you all would suggest. I am leaning towards Bilstein units but not sure. I also wanted to know from those with more experience and knowledge regarding the parking brake setup. Obviously with the Cayman calipers I can't use the old system and its gone. What have you done or seen done to allow for an e brake? Don't get me wrong, my $7 Harbor Freight wheel chock is working great, just not an ideal setup. I have heard of compression lock systems and modern electric options but don't have any specifics so please, bring it on! Much thanks! Mike in NorCal |
