I’m building a 914 with a 3.0 SC motor. It will be an occasional street car and driven to the track. I do most of my events at Sebring which is rough. Running bilstein struts and 205 tires. Weltmeister sway bar in front. Stock 914 lower control arms, Elephant poly bronze bushings.
How big is too big on the torsion bars. |

Undetermined at this point. Need to see if Koni will rebuild my ‘73 dated shocks and what specs they support.
