i got the front suspension from a 914 GT/6 conversion and i'm thinking these tortion bars are upgraded because they are so dang stiff....
can they be simple popped out and measured? how? what's stock in a 911? oh sorry, 5 bolt 911 suspension...... =-) thanks all, roger |

stock in a 911 was 19mm....
pull front valence off pop off rear ride heait adjuster piece of wood and a hammer.. and beat it out the front (it should push the dust cap out no prob) push it out enough to get a set of calipers on it to measure..... and report back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) AA |

My vote is for 21s for a car that will see track/AX duty. Balanced with at least 180# rear springs. If you go bigger than that in the front you need 225# rears or more.
If you don't upgrade the rear springs the car will push alot. Otherwise 19s are a good compromise between ride and handling. IMHO (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Bigger springs and roller bearings. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
