suspension upgrade/replacement/adjustment question Options

[naro914]

I posted this on Pelican Parts back 9 months ago one day when World was down, so some of you may see overlap....

I need some help with Huey in getting it to handle right. I'm embarassed to say this, but in the past, I had my mechanic just put on what he thought was right. Worked great, but as time has gone on, I do a lot of the work myself so I really have no idea what was done in the past. ask me about anything on the car, and I'm good....except my suspension.

Anyway, we do not have stock 914 suspension: when we upgraded to 5 lug, I guess we put 911 stuff up front. 3.5" spacing for the caliper ears, (though we run 993 rear calipers on the front), and bilsteins. 22mm Welt adjust front sway, and I HAVE a Welt rear sway that is currently disconnected. Bilstein in the rear. 180# springs.

I am getting TERRIBLE understeer, never oversteer either with or without the rear sway connected. In fact on the track, were were getting the front inside wheel to lift, even getting a bit of that on an autocross. I'm thinking maybe the front sway is too stiff?

Basically, I have no bite in the front, it feels more like an old 911 that wants to just push through a corner.

I was told that I can't put 914 Koni adjustables on the car (someone on here has them for sale). Is that true? And based on what I have, what is the best suspension set up. for AX/Street use?

Thoughts?
