So I may have messed up my order of operations here but my car is in paint and I am looking to figure out what chasis reinforcement would make sense for my car. The car is a metal flaired 1970 914-4. The motor is a 2056, the car will mostly be used for spirited driving on the street with 8” wide rears maybe an occasional autox. I have heard some stiffening just adds weight or is not necessary for a mild engine conversion like the 2056. I don’t want to waste money and add extra weight if not necessary.
Currently I am looking at the inner long kit from Maddox and Tangerine Heim rods from the firewall to rear suspension pickup. I look forward to hearing suggestions from those with experience. |
