Vintage racing suspension Options

[BillJ]

So contemplating doing the suspension next year and want to accumulate parts. Knowing that vintage wants you to stay true to period what is the max we can do for suspension goodies? Lets call it SVRA rules as they seem to be the strictest....

Bushings, strut inserts, sways, torsion bars, etc. What are you guys willing to.share on setup? I will be running a 2.4 ltr.

The 914-6R (or 914-6 GT) was a race car made by Porsche, it’s configuration were documented by the FIA in 2 Testblatt’s (group 3 and group 4) not the other way around. This was done with all Porsche race 356, 550, 718, 911…etc.
Most European race organizations classified cars according to engine displacement not performance like SCCA and modern IMSA. FIA is the predominant professional sanctioning body so it would be easiest for smaller sanctioning bodies to just follow FIA homologation standards because they are laid out with great detail and easily obtained.
The 914 in this configuration was accepted by AvD, ADAC, DARM, BRDC, l'ACIF, l'USA, IMSA, RAC and CASC to name a few. It seems to me that following SCCA rules of the era is eliminating most of the car in the world. SCCA race cars are a small subset of race cars in the world so why use their rules? I am not calling for the elimination of rules I am asking rules that were more commonly used like FIA. My answer is to allow a vintage car to conform to the rule for which it raced under backed by documentation.
