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) |

I found the following to be near perfect:
23mm torsion bars 22mm front sway bar 300lb rear springs no rear sway bar Poly Bronze bushes throughout monoball top mounts 3.2 Carrera struts with raised spindles Very stiff chassis - full roll cage tied into the rear shock turrets, chassis stiffeners etc. Koni sport shocks. 2.7L engine (~180 RWHP). Quaife Torsen diff. This setup is extremely sensitive to sway bar settings - 1/4 inch either way is quite noticeable. Konis are the weak link - soon to be replaced with custom built Proflex shocks. Cheers, Mark. |

Cheers, Mark. This is almost what I have, and I would venture to say that this would be perfect. |
