Some upgrade questions.
I have a '69 911.It's running 7x16 and 8x16 Fuchs.I've been looking at different things to put on to help handling.
So. Are the front strut tower braces worth getting and which ones do you recommend? And price range?
Will the car improve with 17 or 18" wheels over the 16" Fuchs.I want to change wheels and am trying to get someideas on what works well.What brands, styles are desired.With cost being under $3000. Less tires.
What would you prescribe for brake upgrades, and sway bar sizes along with torsion bars?
Appreciate the help.Thanks to All.

Speaking of rims, my RS flared 69 has 17x8 and 10 inch rims. They are 3 piece with Fuch centers.
Cost around $2200 for a set of 4. The same place I bought these has some less expensive 17 inch rims for around $1700 for a set of 4.
In San Diego Ca. call Jae Lee at
Mirage International at 858 581 1101.
Tell him "long Mike" refered you.
Here's a pic with Kuhmo Victor racer 255/40/17 fronts and 275/40/17 rears on the RS flared 69 911.
