I believe a mid 80's to 88'or 89' 911 set up w/ aluminum calipers would work just fine for you.
Those will not come with AL Calipers. Just A-Calipers which are steel
I agree, it's a nice strut. I don't think the turbo strut is the best choice (in my book).
From what you mentioned (flares, suby etc.) I'd recommend a 3.5" caliper spacing which would be an early S-strut, either Koni or Bilstien (Orange or green respectively) or the later SC strut with the steel A-Caliper.
Keep your 914 A-arms and get new ball joints.
Thanks. Eric, when the time comes, I will be using your rear trailing arms with the 5 lug conversion already done. I just wanted to know what I should be looking for on the front and where to start looking. It has been my experience that if you start looking well in advance of actually needing something, you can usually find a better deal. So, all of the bodywork will get done this summer, along with suspension if I can find it and swing the cash, then the actual motor swap will likely occur next spring/summer.
Planning on doing the turbo 2.0 suby rather than the NA 2.5.
