Pete,

How you doing?

Taking all this in??

I wouldnt run the larger bars with the Tarret (I speak from experience) this is fine for a road race car, but lets start a little softer on the t-bars. I suggest the Koni's on all 4 corners and at least the 175' s in the rear for your 9146. This will work very well for you at AutoX. You'll have just enough adjustability to keep you busy between rounds but not overwhelm you.

When the track time comes around.. step up on the front bars and rear springs (225lb)

I would stick with the stock SC T bars.
Cheep, used. Put a WTB ad on pelican 911 parts.
If you have Boge struts (most SCs were) go with Konis
for the adjustability. If you have Bilstein struts, go with Bilstein (Sports are an option)...cause nuthin else fits.....simple, eh?

The Koni inserts will fit the Boge struts....Boge are black, Bilstein are green....or were back in SC days.

The Aluminum is lighter and somehow the SCs/Carreras (which are 400+lbs heavier than 914s) got along with the supposed flex. If I had an Aluminum jobbie I'd put it in....but then, I'm trying to make weight. If you don't use it lemmeno & I'll buy it from you....if its cheep (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
