I installed these springs in my V8 914 last week...
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm5.staticflickr.com-20876-1542649105.1.jpg) I believe them to be 100# springs and they did put the ride height exactly where I wanted it (the car was a little low for me with the stock springs). I was surprised, however, that they were shorter than the stock springs... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm5.staticflickr.com-20876-1542649106.2.jpg) I had always thought that 100# springs were the same height as stock springs, just with thicker wire.

we had made exact replicas of the original 914 springs, and 914-6 springs. Both are the same length , the 914-6 springs have thicker coils.
Very important to match spring rates to keep the stock factory tuned performance. They knew what they were doing so who are we to improve upon that. However in modified situations, like yours, or for racing, different springs are required. These days everyone with a stock car wants to keep it stock so returning the car to the factory configuration. If you have a stock car, do not waste your money on anything BUT the factory rate springs. |
