I need some suspension advice! I bought a 914-6 track car last spring and it is very soft. I don't know what I have installed yet but I suspect I need an upgrade over the winter. The car is a 2.8 liter with full cage. Any recommendations as to torsion bar size and rear springs? The car has front and rear sway bars, Bilsteins and monoball
front mounts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |

First of all.... do you have a limited slip?
The set up I am trying to do is. Front: - 23mm hollow torsion bars - 22mm Anti-Sway bar - Turbo tie rods - Weltmeister camber plates - Elephant racing bushings - Koni yellows Rear: - 250 lb springs - no anti-swaybar - Elephant racing bushings - Koni yellows This set-up was what I was told to do by a very well respected Chief engineer of a porsche race team. He has a 914 set up similar to this, and it is aways one of the top times of day at all AX events, and it is a killer track car. |

I have Bilsteins front and rear with monoball front upper mounts. The car does have a limited slip and rear bar. The hard bushings are binding and need to be redone and zerk fittings installed. It does have turbo tie rods also. |
