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? |

Dave, unless your at a race track, you dont need anything more than the stock torsion bars. The sway bar could be upgraded, but torsion bars should not be changed..

Dave, unless your at a race track, you dont need anything more than the stock torsion bars. The sway bar could be upgraded, but torsion bars should not be changed.. I agree, but it depends also on how you like the car to feel. I am running 21mm torsion bars up front and 140lb springs in the back. The 21mm front sway bar feels like the M030 sport suspension on my 993. I am running a 3.2 six with a 901 gear box. My car is also flaired and I'm running 22mm sway bar up front and a stock sway bar in the rear. My tires are 225 up front and 245 in the rear. My car is 90% street and 10% autocross. If anything my car has a little more understeer than oversteer, but I could adjust it out with the sway bar. My sway bar is all the way tight right now. |
