I'm getting my alternate-alternate 914 running while my primary car is stripped and on the rotisserie. I'm thinking about focusing on reducing weight in a somewhat reasonable manner. I won't be doing any permanent alterations but what about unsprung weight? This is the area where I want to explore and see what a stock 914 can feel like with minimized unsprung weight. Here's the list of components in my mind to address:
What else is out there that I'm not thinking about? |

For unsprung weight, wheels and tires are the easiest to achieve big results with. I'm assuming that this is for a competition car. If so, a set of really light weight race wheels and light weight race tires will make big differences in the behavior of the the car. If this is for the street... Why?
Rotors would make a big difference too, as would calipers. -Josh |
