I'm pretty much in the same boat as you are.
Modifying the suspension has left me with no idea as to how the car is gonna react.
I have dialed in 2 deg negative camber at the rear and am working towards the same at the front.
I am hoping that i've got the spring rates (F & R) balanced close enuff that the front sway bar and tire pressure adjustments will allow me to get the car balanced....a bit to the loose side for AX. IMO, that's the key, adjustability.
It sounds like your new car has sufficient power to
also make "adjustments" with your right foot.
Power oversteer is a mixed blessing. An otherwise
well balanced car can look sloppy loose by too much input on the loud pedal
Does the back end start coming around at turn in?
Was the PO trail braking? (This can be done with a 914 without the consequences that will afflict the 911, but ya still gotta be careful)
The 914 is a snap spinner, giving very little warning
of breaking loose. From my limited experience, I find that one has to learn to anticipate this. Tires with good recovery characteristics are an added bonus.
Since I recommended that you come here lookin' for answers, I figured I'd put in my .02.
Hopefully, someone that really has their shit together will jump in here and help out both of us.
