Before I decided to convert to an LS1, I was planning to use:
stock 914 torsion bars 100 lb. rear springs stock sway bars Bilsteins all around. The car is steel flared and will have a proper 5-bolt conversion running 16x8 up front and either 16x8 or 16x9 in the back. This will be a street-only car. Should I put stiffer springs in the back? If so, how much stiffer? |

If so, how much stiffer? How does the wt of the LS1 compare to a 6? I am by no means a LS1 conversion expert (always wanted to do the LS3 w/ 930 tran) but I think I remember seeing folks running 180+ lb rear springs on 6 conversions and even heavier on cast iron V8 conversions. I think the weight of the LS1 is not too far from the wt of a big 6 motor. |
