Im continuing to sort out my 914, Still cant figure out what springs are in my car I just know they are heavy.
They appear to be heavier than the 550# I have on the rear of my 911 . The p/o told me they were from Racers Group but couldnt remember the what rate springs they were. Had the car on a lift yesterday took the wheels off and cant find any marks on the springs indicating the spring rate. My friend has a selection of 7X2 1/4 eibach springs at his shop ranging from #350-#650 Im thinking of trying #450 up front and #350 in the rear. Do you think im heading in the right direction? or should I use the same rate at all 4 corners? Any of you guys using 7" springs? Thanks for any insight (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |

Tim, if you can't get rear toe in I think something is bent or the geometry
was changed by whatever parts were put in. This wouldn't make me feel that the previous guy knew what he was doing. Instead of starting with some crazyass setup and reducing springs by some arbitrary percentage, why not take something close to what the people on this board use and work your way up if necessary. Actually, I don't remember getting any details about the car design or what you're going to to do with it. That is very important also. Mark S. '70 914-6 |
