I saw a set of 89 930 Turbo suspension (front and rear, everything including brakes) on ebay and it got me thinking. Has anyone ever put a Turbo suspension on a 914? I have a car to do a conversion on and maybe, just maybe I would look at doing the grand daddy suspension on it.

From what I have heard 1989 was the last year that 911 suspension 'Bolted' right
on. I believe it will fit but you might ask Slits, Aaron Cox, Eric_Shea or one of the other Guru's. Try PMing one of them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

up to 89 will bolt up. 930 front susp setups have bigger brakes, and more offset hubs.... (pushes your wheel outboard), which works if you have flares....
overkill for a narrow body car.... and only the brakes from the 930 rear can be adapted (and axles maybe), but they dont just bolt onto a 914 rear. still have to use a 914 rear arm |

And what rear change-over, aside from 5-hole, is worth spending money on? Which rear swap-out has bigger brakes AND still has some kind of parking brake compatible with the 914 cable set-up? |

you can pretty much froget about the rear suspension, its a totally different setup.
the rear brakes may work. yep up to 89 911 struts are all good donors |

the turbo hubs have around 10 to 20mm extra width built onto them IIRC. which could mean flares if you try anything over a 7" wheel up front on a stock bodied car.
