Suspension Refresh Review

Greetings,

I am in the middle of a suspension refresh.

I am mostly looking for feedback in the way of “did I miss something” or “that configuration/combo will not work. I have a 1976 911S with about 110k miles on it. The engine is stock with a MSD and Pertronix Ignition. I have lowered the car to Euro specs and upgraded to 16x6 and 16x7 Fuchs. The suspension with the exception of the upgrades I have done is stock.

Here is a list of parts that I am installing:

FRONT:

Turbo Tie Rods – TTK-930N
Turbo Tie Rod Wrench – PEL-SR2201
Monoball Strut Mount Set Camber Plates – PEL-TE-MSMS911
Rebel Racing Products Front Bushing Set – PEL-RSR-FRBSH
Ball Joint – 911-341-049-01-M69
Cotter Pin – N-021-521-1-OEM
Lock Plate – 901-341-426-00-M260
Nut for Ball Joint – 901-341-425-00-M260
Threaded Pin for Ball Joint – 911-341-119-06-M260
Washer for Threaded Pin – 900-089-006-01-OEM
Lock Nut for Threaded Pin – 999-084-019-02-M100
Ball Joint Wrench – PEL-TOL-P210
Front Sway Bar Bushing – 911-343-792-03-M260
Rennline Truss Mount Strut Bar – REN-SB809193-SI

** I have a set of 21mm torsion Bars to install, as part of the suspension refresh. I have Koni Adjustable shocks currently installed.

REAR:

Elephant Racing Weather-Sealed Monoball Cartridge – ERMP-2020901
18mm Rear Sway Bar Bushing – 911-333-793-02-M260

** I already installed a set of Adjustable Sway-Away Spring plates and 27mm Torsion Bars with Bilstein Sport Shocks.

Any feed back would be greatly appreciated before I pull the trigger and order the parts.

Thanks!

Gary

You will love the RSR bushings. Make sure you push the front housing and A-arm all the way back into the tightened rear mount before you torque the front one. This makes sure there is no axial play that can cause a slight, one-time "tick" when you back out of the garage. There is no harm in this condition, however.
