Hi 914 suspension wizards,
I do club racing with the POC in CA on the tight handling courses so far (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) . I'm about to install a front Tarett 22mm hollow RSR style sway bar. Rear sway bar yes or no? I do still drive the car on the street as well.... The car has Toyo R888, 140lbs springs so far, but it eventually is going to a 6 with 22mm torsion bars in the front and adjustable 300lbs springs in the rear and of course a 5 lug conversion. Thanks |

Once upon a time (7 years ago) in a land far away (Orange County CA.) I was trying to dial in my car at El Toro. What I learned was that my 1600 pound car with a 6 and Quafed diff needed lighter springs to get to the point that I could use and adjust sway bars. I had 911 front suspension and 180 pound springs in the rear. I changed out the front with -4 torsion bars. The next time at the track I disconnected the sway bars and went out on track. The car was tail happy. Hooked up the rear bar and that planted the rear of the car. The front of the car was still pushing and I noticed that the front still needed less camber (inside edeg of the tires were not getting scuffed). I need to get all of this stuff sorted before I go out and spend the big money for the good stuff from Elephant. ( I don't have 10K to spend on the front suspension at this time.) It dosen't look like I'll have the car ready for racing till next season without Elephant parts. My hole point is that I want my suspension to be adjustable, including the bars. So if I feel a little push I can use more bar in the front or take some off of the rear depending on the tire temps.
A pyrometer is your best friend when tuning your suspension. |

I saw a couple requests above for a 914 rear swaybar. I have one - I think it's 16mm. If interested, PM me!
