I want to upgrade my front suspension to 911 level what would you do e.g. brakes, tie-rods, rotors, sway-bar, etc? The complete front-end street and some track. What would you recommend? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

If you can lock 'em don't knock 'em! |

I have S calipers on there too which making braking easy. I also have 23mm hallow torsion bars. You may want to do 21 hollow if it is more of a street car but I still drive mine on the street and it feels fine as long as the road isn't chitty. |

Turbo tie rods. New ball joints. Adjustable Konis or Bilsteins. Powdercoat everything. New wheel bearings. What's yer motor? Brakes depend on your Master Plan. |

Beautiful stuff but this guy doesn't need FreeMotion ... He is only trying to get to 911 level handling. He can do that by letting the air out of one of his tires. Then just like a 911 you don't know what the hell it is going to do in a corner! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Oh I love mine too! But you have to admit, it depends on her mood whether she is going to understeer or oversteer in any given corner. Sometimes both... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! As I swap ends... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
