Conversion Question

Can someone please enlighten me on the process of a conversion,in my case,(from 77 911 to 964 rsr) aside from engine, how is the suspension,balance,etc determined? how will i know what to purchase,now that the car will be heavier,only the front and rear bumpers will be FG, the front and rear fenders are steel, am i to go off a 930's suspension?
this vehicle will only be road driven not tracked,but will get a partial cage.

thanks

You are worrying about nothing, if all you are doing is installing the flares front and rear for street use, stick w/ the stock suspension or possibly stock '86 t-bars.

Of course Bilsteins are always nice additions

Fitting a 930 trailing arms is not going to be cheap.

The corner balance and alignment won't change from doing the body mods you described.
