Custom Suspensions, Need info on Dual A-Arms or 5Link setups? Options

[914_1.8t]

So, I'm in the process of aquiring a 914 project and am trying to plan as far forward as possible, In particular the suspension.

Plan is to modify the trailing arms and turn them into either a 5-Link suspension or uneven length A-Arms. I'm looking for any pics or details on those who have gone this route.

In particular, with an dual A-Arm setup in the rear, what lengths/angles should I use for the A-Arms? What about 5-link? I know the question is a bit vague and I don't have many details at the moment but I'll be working towards finalizing something soon. Appreciate any feedback and PICS.

If you graft in a Boxster suspension and 5 speed trans, it will bolt up to that 1.8T....if that's indeed the power plant you're looking to do. I seem to recall someone doing one, but was pretty secretive about it.

byndbad914 has a tube framed A arm suspended racer (with SBC). Though he recently re-configured the suspension, it originally had a 5 link rear.

I had done the 1.8t swap about 5 years ago in my old...audi/vw long motors/trans can be mounted to boxster engine/trans. I actually used a pasat/a4 fwd teams last time with boxter cable shifter and early 911 axles & hubs (with spacer at trans). New setup will be 2.7t with single turbo/o1e 6spd.

Ideally, if like to able to find a spindle (dual a-arm type) to use (and find some oem axles) and possiblyuse stock a-arms , figure out the geometry and design the frame of the car around that.

Boxster may be best way to go?
