Anybody got some info on converting 914 rear trunk springs from torsion bars to gas springs? Thanks for all replies.

Camp 914
Call Craig, he can set you up.

Along those lines, can the torsion springs still be utilized with the LS engine, or will they need to be removed??

Thanks for the info. Talked to Craig and got his kit to make the conversion. At $50, I think it is a bargain.

You have to ditch them, or at least I did.

Camp 914 is great if you get the right parts.
I ordered one front and one rear set for lightweight (GRP) hoods.
The front set was spot on but the rear set I got was 3 times stiffer than the front and made it impossible to close the rear trunk without breaking something. Still waiting for replacements.

$50?

I bought the front and rear set from camp914 - the rear works great! Eventually (if the heat ever dies down), I'll get the front springs replaced as well. Only been a few years...
