Is anyone running 21mm torsion bars on a stock 914/4? How stiff is it? Just curious as I know sometimes even the little adjustment/upgrade in the suspension can be more than ideal.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I did 23mm bars...to stiff.
the best setup is stock torsion bars with a 21mm front anti sway bar and 140-180 lb rear adjustable springs. Run koni adjustable shocks and with all of that underneath you , you can tune your suspension to a premium setup for autox, track or street....depends on your application. rich |

Your input is always one I read anywhere any topic. Right now I am on Billstiens all around with factory fr. and rear sway bars and factory torson bars, new rubber bushings and 100 lb. springs.. It is a nice ride but I am always open to learning, and the front just seems a bit softer than the rear but it is not enough to warrant that much changing or concern really, just knowledge at this point. When I screwed up my first bushing install (poly) they were all pretty much siezed and rode like off road ride everywhere (kidney belt), but it turned/tracked like it was on rails very sweet!.... |
