Ok I am starting to play. So I purchased the complete suspension from a drilled 5 lug conversion (complete front including rack and rear trailing arms with drilled 5 lug hub). My plan was to buy a sway bar, tubro tie rods, koni adjustable and then replace entire front suspension. I thought I was clear on what I was going to do.
Today I found a great deal on a freshly rebuilt 72 911 front suspension with 911 sway bar and torsion bars. It is a complete suspension minus steering rack and tie rods. So I am thinking I should install the 911 stuff. Or should I mix and match parts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) The 911 brakes sure look nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Also would you get 15 or 16 fuchs?

I decided to run 82 911 SC struts, hubs, brakes, ball joints with turbo tie rods and a 914 19mm sway bar. I had a ste of 15" phone dials, but now I have some 17" boxter S alloys
Mark Rides nice, even on Michigan roads, which have to be the worst roads in the country.
