Default Back to Basics ??

Hi All,

Building the 65 Porsche coupe w the C5 drive posted on the site. Couple opinion questions for you.

1) Noticed that many of you don't run power brakes - Any experience with C5 standard brakes in manual mode with proper master cyl and pedal lever design would be appreciated. I prefer to go manual to help package this car.

2) Same question for power steering. I noticed that Penny has manual brakes - yet pwr steering. I have the stock vette pwr setup with stock width tire.

3) Any suggestions on usable real world front ride height w/o bags ? I have it set at 5 inches right now for the lowest frame contact point. Finish welding the fnt suspension jig this weekend thinking that 5 should work. Any lower takes the lower a-arms off level - and several threads recommend level.

Many Thanks !!

Jim
