Rebuilding and tuning my entire suspension, what set ups work best?, Any advice for my weekend fun car..... Options

[nsr-jamie]

Hello, I am going to redo my entire suspension this winter, this will be my big winter project. I am hoping some others can chime in here and let me know what set ups you are running on your cars and what works best. I did a search but was having problems finding info. If this is posted in the wrong section I apologize....

So here is my car, its a 1972 914 and the 1.7 L motor is bored to 2.2 with twin 40mm dellorto carbs and Bursch exhaust, it runs good. At the moment I have a complete front end from a 1971 911T and converted rear hubs with 914/6 brake discs. The 911T struts are red Koni....the rest of the suspension is stock and in bad shape, the car handles awful and I plan to rebuild it completely this winter and make improvements.

Here is what I was thinking about....

Koni shocks all around (red on front, yellow sports on rear)

Tarret 23mm front sway bar

Hollow 21mm front Torsion bars

150 pound springs with adjustable height setting perches (Tarret)

Elephant bushes all around

Turbo tie rods and new ball joints

How does this set up sound? My car is mostly a hobby car, mostly for street riding on weekends. I do plan the occasional autocross or track event (1 or 2 times a year) but it will mostly be a street car though I don't mind a firm ride. Mostly I want to have an awesome handling 914 so I can take it up to some of the nice twisty roads here in the mountain area of Japan

If anybody has any suggestions or advice, please let me know.

Here is a picture of my car as it is right now

Thank you

Most early 911 thru-body bars are 16mm. They start at 13mm and go up to 16mm (for street applications).

18mm is the one year only thru-body 930 bar.

20 is the stock SC era under-body bar.

22 is the Carrera.
