Default Wheel hubs?

Are the lighter weight 993 hubs interchangable with the heaver 964 units?
If so, is the weight savings worth the cost?

I seriously considered this . As well as the Hubs you will need 993 wishbones and steering arms.

I had the hubs/993 wishbones but life took over and I never got any further !!

I could see possible issues with the rack arms/ front anti roll bar links , but better caliper location for my RS brakes and of course lower unsprung weight !!

If you decide to go ahead it would be worth checking these points ?

Good luck

My $0.02. For a street/track car I don't see the benefit. My car is now full track/race and I'm going to continue using the stock stuff until performance issues force a change. In the intial outing, the car ran and handled well, even with it being lower than RS ride height (it's very low). The issue I have to face is if the bearings and hubs can withstand the stress of the huge slicks. If not, I then switch to full mono-***** and EVO suspension.
