Today at the track, with my new Hoosier A6's, I was lifting the inside front tire. I had installed 180 lb springs, took off the rear sway bar and tightened up the front 19mm Tarrett just a little. Everyone at the track told me that I needed beefier springs in the back. Well, I have 220 lbs springs, shall I try them? Shall I leave the sway bar off? Should I soften or tighten the front sway bar? Oh, I am running 205/15 on 5.5 rims. I am looking at 7" rims to get the patch better. Any other recommendations?

I sold the 914 I'd been modifying for 12-14 years when I retired.
It was fairly successful at AX & fun to drive. I had an MR2 turbo as a DD & figured that it might be fun to run in C Stock. Did new shocks & got me some R spec Kumhos. The Toyoda did all the things it was supposed to do.....my driving was crummy, as was the norm, BUT , it was not fun. The car was heavy, under powered, & flaccid. No gettin' around it, I was spoiled & too old to learn to like slow. The old 914 was good enough to make me look good too. So, take your time, learn your trade, and enjoy. When the joy stopped, so did I. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Yeah, I miss it. |
