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'd never put 21's on a street car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

What would you do for a pure street car that needs suspension work on all 4 corners? I just bought Midtowner's '73 2L. It has 140lb. springs, old Konis that need to be replaced/rebuilt, and stock front/rear sway bars. The car has noticeable bump steer and I find the ride to be harsh. Looking for a more comfortable ride without losing too much of its responsive handling. |

The 911 front T bars are a bit heavier I think...I believe they are around the 19mm mark which makes them very nice for a street driven 914...that is what I did...along with a Tarret front bar, 150 pound springs (adjustable height), Koni shocks, and am still working out what bushings to go with next....probably Elephant rubber ones |
