My 74 2.0 is undergoing a long restoration process. The restoration will include installing Porsche OEM front and rear sway bars (my preference to use original equipment - like sticking with the D-Jet). All of my suspension parts are basically shot. I intend to upgrade the front and rear suspension. My thoughts are Bilsteins all around and 100 lb springs in the rear. This car will be used almost exclusively for regular street driving. I don't mind a "sport" suspension, but the roads here in Taxachusetts are very bad, so a track like ride would be impossible. Am I on the right course? My goal is to balance all the suspension components so they work well together and give a predictable handling experience. Also, are the Turbo tie rods the way to go?

I was also contemplating going with the 100# rear springs plus Koni yellows. I have a '70 914-6 and would be using it mianly for street driving but occassionally autocross. Based on some of the other posts now I'm thinking that 140# rear springs might be better. My car has a 19mm front sway bar, no rear bar.
For guys who have experienced 100# rear springs and 140# rear springs on the same car everything else the same, how much stiffer is the ride on the street and how much better is the handling esp. for autocross? Pete '70 914-6 |
