I am somewhat familiar with antidive characteristics with a double a-arm type suspension but was surprised today when I read on the Pelican board a discussion of increasing antidive on a 911 front suspension(similar to our 914) by shimming the front torsion bar mount down.

Has anyone played with that at all? What was your result? How much of a shim would be needed?

The Smart Racing PDF catalog mentions this mod on page 43 in the ERP 935 front suspension upgrade kit. www.smartracingproducts.com
They raise the inner pivot point 20mm. This would effectively lower the car a little. Lowering the front pivot will raise the front of the car slightly.
This will change the geometry as well, presumably for the better.
