OK going through my 914 suspension. I have new Koni Sports, Weltmeister 19mm front swaybar, 140lb springs, turbo tie rods and bump spacers for when I lower the car. Should I think of installing anything else while I'm in the process of doing these modifications?
I will be driving the car on the street and weekend AXs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) |

Ever heard a 914 squeak and groan while being driven around the paddock of a autoX or road race ?? That noise you hear is the suspension sticking and unsticking against the crappy urethane bushings we have been installing for 20 some odd years now. Sticking suspension means the shocks and springs/torsion bars are not working correctly. 90% of the urethane cars ride like crap with sticking suspension and larger springs/torsion bars. The roller bearings make you feel like your riding on a pillowy cloud (cant beleive I used that phrase).. but it fits. The car will take bumps graciously instead of bouncing over them when the suspension is sticking.
Ever see a 914 or 911 lift or carry a wheel thru a corner ?? Sticking suspension (partially) B |
