When driving large sweepers like freeway on ramps at high speed I experience what I can only describe as front end scrubbing. Not understeer, more like the front is just not planted and tracking. Things get better with a full tank of fuel. Is that just the nature of the 914, full tank factored into weight bias, or can the suspension be tuned to emulate the weight.
Here is what Im working with; -19mm adjustable sway-bar set about 1” back from full soft. -Koni yellow adjustable shocks -Stock front torsions -Rear springs are aftermarket (reddish orange color) but I do not know the poundage. Any input would be appreciated. |

Is there ride height difference between front and rear? I notice a lot of these cars ride a bit high in the front compared to the rear. Are the front torsion bars adjusted to high? If you can get the front down a couple mm, should make the car more “darty”. Had this affect with my last driver.
