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 |

For what it's worth I have the same size tires and asked Greg Fordahl this same question. He told me that 225lb or 250 lb rear springs are perfect for a 914. He explained that if you go stiffer or softer you do not get the same characteristics that you want from the rear end. Oh, and no rear sway bar. this is of course for an autocross setup. This is only one mans take on it but I followed it and my car feels great.
