sensible street suspension/brake setup for my RSR?

Trying to get an idea of an ideal suspension setup for my 73 RSR rep with lots of turbo power (500horses ish..) I dont plan on spending that much time on the track, this is going to be more of a street attack vehicle than a track car so comfort is something to bear in mind. i don't mind a bit of firm though. as for brakes-im running 15's so that is something that limits my choice. I was thinking 930 calipers but what what master? 930? is there a better choice for more pedal feel?
any advice would be greatly appericated!

930 brakes all around with coilovers in the back. That way you'll still be able to use 15-inch wheels and have decent stopping power with original Porsche pieces.

When it comes to suspension I would leave front axle as it is, maybe with slightly thicker torsion bars. I would use coilover shock absorbers in the back together with uniball spring plates. That way you can cut torsion tube later on if you decide to use G50 transmission.

cheers goran. that was the sort of setup that id hope would be enough to get me on the street. how about the master cylinder? the car is a 3.0 SC. will the SC master be enough what effect will it have using the 930 brakes with the SC master?

I believe it's best to use 23mm 930 master cylinder to avoid mushy pedal feel. It's a straight swap and they aren't expensive.

Yes on the 23 mm master. I have 930 brakes on my car and I love them.

When I turboed my car I left the suspension stock. I don't have 500 hp and it is an SC. So it is a little different than your car. I don't track my car. I do get lots of squat on accel but it sure does hook up I will someday go with stiffer rears but not much stiffer.
Hope that helps
Dean
