Recommendations for torsion bars for 914-6 DE use Options

[maj75]

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.

I've had stock torsions and a 19mm sway bar up front for forever with Bilsteins. I recently went to 19mm torsion to stiffen it up some. Really just seat of the pants and driving focus helped me the most, but I just track drive for fun in the 914 not fastest lap. I have seen people run 21mm on the track, but they just seem so stiff for the street.

I've also been running a 3.0 and now a 3.2, 200 or 220lb rear springs. Bilsteins all around. It's always felt balanced atleast on the track.

Do yourself a favor and run some weber 40's, headers and DC19 cams if you haven't already. So much fun...
