I'm setting up my 914 for the track. What springs rates/torsion bars do you guys run front and rear.
Car is a 914-6, 225/50-15 R compound tires, Bilsteins, front 22 mm bar. Thanks for your Advice. Michael |

I was serious about that BP break in oil. If anything will seat them rings, that will do it....give it 100-150 miles. If it works, you will feel the motor wake up. It may be a $60 cure.
The springs are 10 inch, the collars are 7in IIRC. Coleman's house brand springs are about 100 bucks a set. Available in 25lb increments. They have a website you can browse....I think you have to download their cataloge.....it's been a while. Springs are another suspension tuning aid....one of the more useful ones. |
