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.

Weltmeister, who used to be part of Automotion, that was sold to Performance Products, that I think was sold to someone else?
Anyway, they should be 100 lb/in, and shorter than stock. Stock springs were on the order of 50-65 lb/in, depending on which version. You can work out the rates from some of the info in the factory manuals, though it takes some math and you have to work out what exactly they are specifying in each section of the manual. --DD |
