Aaron,

I'm guessing by the size that you have a 24mm Tarret ? Step up on the rear springs IF you have the Tarret. You have plenty of room for adjustment.

I'm verbally NOT fond of progressive springs... so the 140's/180's are not my favorite choice. I like to run/install linear rate springs (Eibach/H&R)

My preferred street setup is stock t-bars with 23mm weltmeister bar up front. Out back 180s with no sway bar work well.

To balance my ride the sway bar had to be run at half way, so I see know reason to go up to a bigger bar for the street.

One problem with the 914 front suspension is roll center locations. When you lower the car any from the stock location it will move the roll centers. Add into that the really short A-arms and you get major movement of the roll center. When this happens you have to run a pretty stiff setup to keep roll down to a minimum. Now if you want to build new a-arms and move to nice coil over setup this would limit the need for superstiff suspension, although you will lose a little trunk space.

Dion.. I need for you to shrink your pics a tad before posting them. Something in the 640X480 range is easier on peoples monitors. I'll take care of this one. Thanks for posting the pic. The car looks awesome.

I took care of it for you.

We typically tell people about "Irfanview" It is a very simple photo editing software that is "free".

Looks great Dion, you ought to lower the car a little, especially the front (mostly for asthetics)
