While we're here.
Anyone going to 200 lb or greater rear springs should be aware that they can cause problems. Specifically at the shock towers, trunk level at the forward end of the hole. The tower connection is a weak spot on 914s......really pretty scary if you get a chance to look at the whole connection under all that sheet metal. Excessive lifting forces will crack at that bottom forward edge. 200 lb springs seems to be the tip over point. The springs try to rip the shocks towers off. The fix involves adding welds (and/or down tubes) that were never there in the first place.....under that sheet metal. Not my best pic, but the trouble starts at the top of pic at the seam just forward of the hole. Attached image(s) |
