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? |

I had 200# rear springs with the Bilstiens - perfect! I run an LS2.

I had 200# rear springs with the Bilstiens - perfect! I run an LS2. and stock front torsions? Dave - I'm running 911 front torsion bars...I can't offer an opinion regarding 180 or 140 pound springs because all I've had are the 200. With that said, for the street I woudn't want anything less. I've now gone up to 300 rears with coil overs for more aggressive use. I also have a solid Weltmiester front roll bar. |
