QUOTE(jhadler @ Dec 6 2006, 12:05 PM)  And your Konis as-is don't have enough rebound damping when cranked up full?? just for the record, i felt that i could have occasionally used more rebound than i could adjust with my yellow konis. particularly in the hillclimb, when i was constantly cresting the crown on the road (the car would get sooooo light), it was the only way i felt i could stay in control. this was with 22mm torsion bars, 225# rears, 1900 lbs. |

But if you had that much rebound, would your car have handled any better on the rest of the course?? Sounds like it was a problem of not enough suspension travel. Hmmm... 914's have been the subject of some wild bastadizations... Anyone consider putting a trophy truck style suspension under one????

probably, but that sort of heavy-light-heavy-light action was, essentialy, the whole course. i like your idea for suspension travel! Rally the car!
