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)

depending on your total suspension front and rear, I have found that 21mm front torsion bars are best balanced with 180-200# springs.
Especially if you are running a large front sway bar. 21mm bars 22mm sway bar front 180-200# rears all riding on Bil sports or Koni adjustables. I have built 5 track/street/AX 914s over the years and the total package is what makes the difference stock front bars work nicely with a 19mm front bar matched with 100 or 140s in the rear. For a street car I would not go to 21mm front bars. My 2cents (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) my previous 914 ran 21mm bars 19mm front sway 180# rear springs running on Koni adjustables front and custom valved Bils in the rear.
