My 914-6 GT Tribute car will for sporting street use with a twin plug carbureted 3.2SS engine. I am not sure if I should be using 100 or 150 lb springs.
Any suggestions? |

I have a 1974 914 3.2L conversion that is running 140# rear springs but will be going to Weltmeister 180# progressive rear springs. The 140s did help with the additional weight and are only slightly more harsh for street driving than the 100# springs on my 2.0L LE. I don't have a rear anti-sway bar so I think the higher rear spring weight will be beneficial for track days.
