A. What are the complete factory specs for the correct 914 Porsche chassis ride height? Indicate the chassis ride height specifications for each 914 model year, market (e.g. USA vs Europe) and 914/4, 914/6, if there were any differences. Include photos or a scan of the factory documentation of the specs in your response to this topic. (Hint: The factory specs did change during production - not all 914s should be the same) Factory 916, 914/8 and race cars are exempt from this listing.
B. Clearly indicate the points/surfaces the measurements are taken from.
C. What factory equipment must a 914 have installed to assure that the chassis ride height and suspension geometry are factory correct?
This data should be of immense importance to any decent concours person, and I hope to win them thar' rags, or split them with Wolfgang. Get them ready to ship Pat...
Partial information for '70-'72 914/4, US version:
Car should have correct tire pressures, alignment, full fuel tank, spare tire and should be on a flat, level surface.
The ride height is the distance of the outside hub center minus 85-95mm. The ride height is then the distance between the level ground surface and the center of the front torsion bar, where the ride height is to be adjusted. The left and right side height spec should vary no more than 5mm.
I think this topic belongs in the "Garage" where the details can be expounded upon.
Paul (I really miss having my 914 )
