914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Adjustable perches and 175lb springs ...rock!

Posted by: grantsfo May 20 2005, 06:49 PM

My car turns now!!!! Rich and the guys at HPH installed new 175lb Eibach springs and adjustable pearches for me today along fixing my brakes with new rotors and Porterfield r-4 pads. Took a few fast uphill corners where my car has typically pushed all the way around the turn and the front end just tucked in and held. Yee haw! I'll see if its too much this weekend at Marina, but I still have a lot of adjustment left in my front 22mm bar. Car didnt bounce around any more with the new 175 lb springs than with my 140 lb springs on my trip up the twisty mountain road to my house. I think I made a very good decision going with heavier rear springs. Thanks again to HPH for getting me set!

...So a car that turns and can stop is worth how many seconds in a AX?

Nathan and Trekkor nice seeing you guys there today.

yessssss!

The Eibach on Koni's with the Ground Control threaded collar seems to be the hot set-up.

Now Grant will beat me, too.

Naw were pretty closely matched. My car is lighter, but you'll get me on the straights with about ...what twice as much HP? We need to gang up on Nathan. Maybe I can distract him when you let the air out of his tires!
