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. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) 200# would be about right for the additional weight and power of the LS-1... I use 200# for a 225HP 200+ft/lb torque TypeIV. |
