I’m building a 914 with a 3.0 SC motor. It will be an occasional street car and driven to the track. I do most of my events at Sebring which is rough. Running bilstein struts and 205 tires. Weltmeister sway bar in front. Stock 914 lower control arms, Elephant poly bronze bushings.
How big is too big on the torsion bars. |

To me the 205 tire will limit how stiff you want to go...also which tire...super sticky or streetable.
I ran stock front torsion bars for years with a 21 mm front sway bar and 180 lb rear springs.....finally bumped up to 19 t bars. Fast forward to big sticky tires then the 22 sway bar and 400 lb springs were needed to make to work. It is a slippery slope. |
