Where can I get a decent price and not wait 3 weeks for them?

Try your luck with a want ad. Or you could call GPR...

Are you racing this car?

Have you called us to see what we have on the shelf?

Rich Bontempi at High Performance House (Redwood City, CA) may have some as well.

22mm front T-bars are mighty stiff for a 914...unless you're going racing.

Yup. It'll see some street time but I'm building a road race car with minimal to no street comforts.

I have 225# rear springs and will be in the market for a 23mm bar when funds allow.



Nope. I will today.

For a data point:
My 21mm T-bars were balanced by 275 lb rear springs, 22mm (effective) AR bar set half hard. No concessions to streetability.

AX or Road Course?

Mine's a track car in the same ilk.

Front
23mm torsion bars
22mm Tarrett bar
Bilstein sport inserts in Bilstein struts

Rear
200# springs
yellow adj Koni's
no AR bar

Elephant poly-bronze in the back and about to be in the front when I get a day free to install them.

Now that I built the last tranaxle with a clutch-type LSD I'll have to add a rear AR bar or "up" the rear springs to fight a wee bit of understeer.

I don't care if it's a bit stiff... so am I. I use it almost daily as well and damn the tire wear. We have a lot of real twisties in Arkansas.

AX. My front end weighed in at about 700 lbs, about 1000 in back.

I've driven a 914 track race car on an AX course. He could get away with stiff suspenders on a billard smooth track but was undriveable at speed out in the parking lot.
IIRC his rear springs were in the 600 lb range on a 1900 lb car.

I have a set of torsion bars that I got from an 82 sc but I couldn't find any markings to indicate what they are!

If you know how to tell what they are I will take a closer look for you!

$40 plus shipping.

They'll most likely be 18.8mm. Just measure the outside diameter (not at the splines). I have a set of them I got with the 911 front end.

I emailed GPR. None on the shelf. They'll let me know tomorrow if their supplier has them.

I will check them tomorrow and let you know the outside mesurment!

Sorry, mine are 19mm!

I have set of 23 mm torsion bars 911 .

I know some here warn about too stiff but not all of us.

Set mine up 20 yrs ago and I loved it.
911 T frt struts & brakes
Polygraphite suspension bushings fr & rr (hard ones)
22mm front T-bars (914)
180 lb rear springs (cut and shortened)
19mm front anti roll bar (heim jointed drop links)
Koni yellow sport gas shocks frt & rr.

Daily driver, auto-x and occasional road trip.
Very balanced car.
Was always near the top of my auto-x class (not saying much since it was a 1.7L)
