i got the front suspension from a 914 GT/6 conversion and i'm thinking these tortion bars are upgraded because they are so dang stiff....
can they be simple popped out and measured?
how? what's stock in a 911?
oh sorry, 5 bolt 911 suspension......
=-)
thanks all,
roger

stock in a 911 was 19mm....
pull front valence off
pop off rear ride heait adjuster
piece of wood and a hammer.. and beat it out the front (it should push the dust cap out no prob)
push it out enough to get a set of calipers on it to measure..... and report back

i have 22mm sway aways... and yep, they be white...
23mm bars mean huge springs in da back....
21's are nice.

My vote is for 21s for a car that will see track/AX duty. Balanced with at least 180# rear springs. If you go bigger than that in the front you need 225# rears or more.
If you don't upgrade the rear springs the car will push alot.
Otherwise 19s are a good compromise between ride and handling. IMHO

Bigger springs and roller bearings.
