A friend of my dad gave me these. They are just under 30mm raised. They also are shortened one inch. The tie rod arm has been modified too. The brake calipers mounts are 3 1/2 inch on center too.
Should I clean them up and use them?
Worried about the 1 inch shortened mod and the bent tie-rod arm. I assume the tie-rod is bent to help with bump steer?
I already have early 911 towers. So my brakes should mount right up.
If I space out the front wheels, can I still use 15 inch wheels? How much spacing?
Decambered ball joints help with fitment too?
As usually, all help is good help.

I would check to see if the struts are worn where the outer bearing sit. If you can feel a notch probably on the bottom of the strut you will have what seems like loose wheel bearings no matter how much you tighten them. I wonder what shocks are in those Koni cans?

I dont think the 30mm will clear a 15 inch wheel without spacers

We'll see.

This is what my 15" wheels look like with spindles raised 19mm. 30 mm won't work with 15" wheels unless you are running a ton of spacer.

Those are nice shocks. They are ordered to length for a heavily lowered car. Now owned by qa1.
