When driving large sweepers like freeway on ramps at high speed I experience what I can only describe as front end scrubbing. Not understeer, more like the front is just not planted and tracking. Things get better with a full tank of fuel. Is that just the nature of the 914, full tank factored into weight bias, or can the suspension be tuned to emulate the weight.
Here is what Im working with; -19mm adjustable sway-bar set about 1” back from full soft. -Koni yellow adjustable shocks -Stock front torsions -Rear springs are aftermarket (reddish orange color) but I do not know the poundage. Any input would be appreciated. |

Well, looks like it is still a hot topic. Years ago all that Weltsmiester stuff came through here, got mine from George. To get a rear bar or not to, 19mm is too big for the front ...I got the front and rear, 19mm for the front, 140 lb springs for the rear and I think the front TB's were 21mm. Now I was no expert suspension doctor so I had it set up by Steve Floyd at european auto, he was. He says to me "Now all you have to do is drive" and he was right. At this time I'm adding Bilsteins front and rear and better brakes. I had KYB's and I'm really looking forward to the Bil's
