suspension advice., Building vara race car Options

[mtrotter]

Im in the process of building a race car out of my 73 914 and need advice on suspension set ups.

Im looking for torsion bars and sway bars but can only find 23 mm torsion bars for front. I seem to think I might want more but im not sure. Keep in mind im staying with the type4 2.0 and dont plan to exceed 130hp or so.

will 23 mm torsion bars get the job done?

Also, 180lb springs is the best i can find.... i was planning to use 200 or 220 to off set the front being so stiff.

any advice is welcome

23mm Tbars are pretty damn stiff.... for a 4cyl, i'd stick with 22's or even 21's and then dial out the rest with a sway bar....


as for rears, search for "ground control" here and in the garage: threaded perches to accomodate race springs in whatever rate you want 'em.

my set up

22 t bars
22 sway
225 lbs springs
stock rear sway depending on set-up....
