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 like mine to handle like a cart. It's a daily driver with a 993 motor so it's heavier than some other 914's. So I put as many things in the front trunk and as low as possible (i.e. Fuel cell, battery, oil cooler, fire system). Briefly...
Front: 23mm torsions 22mm anti-sway bar Bilstein sport inserts 225/50 x 16 tires Rear: 200 # adjustable height coil springs Koni gas-adjustable shocks no anti-sway bar, although I might re-install the one that came on the car now that I have a clutch-type LSD. 245/45 x 16 tires I dial in handling with a combination of tire pressures, rear shock settings and front sway bar adjustments, in that order. My teeth are ok so far. |
