@bbrock has the right idea, keep it simple and stock and you'll be happy.
I would add a set of the 100lb 914 Rubber rear springs to replace the 40 year old stock units. If you want to do a bit more agressive you can add bigger torsion bars, front sway bar (rear really isn't needed), and stiffer rear springs (140lb). |

If you want to do a bit more agressive you can add bigger torsion bars, front sway bar (rear really isn't needed), and stiffer rear springs (140lb). I disagree. If you don't put 140lbs springs on the back and you install both front and rear sway bars, you get a better ride and flat cornering. We have been running that setup for 30 years on Betty's car. |
