how much will new shocks alone help ??

i am running narrow 4 lug wheels and tires - maybe 195's would be better than 205's??

Are you looking for some new shocks and/or springs?
PM me if you are.
Also, are your tie rods shot? that could certainly destroy the steering feel

EXACTLY what tire brand,style, and size do you have? (include aspect ratio, like 50 series or 60 series)

And what air pressure do you keep in them?

How old are the shocks?

Do you have either front or rear sway bars?

What spring rate on the rear?

Stock torsion bars on the front?

Lets start with what you have........ And go from there.

This way we are all starting on the same page.

neither of my 914's have sways bars at all

probably old shocks on both and stock torsion bars

air pressure - hum - i better check : )

1975 914 2.0
205x60x15 firestone firehawk gta
springs ??

1972 914 v8
195x60x15
i think 180 lbs rear springs

Worn out shocks, bushings, steering rack, etc.

Bingo.



My 914-6 was like a Chris Craft w/o the sway bar. That nice flat hood only seems to accentuate the problem. Stock Sway Bar makes all the difference in the world.

Tires as well.

Then shocks.

Less tire height would make a difference. Someone has mentioned that 50 and 55 series tires don't handel much differently for street use. 55 look better in the wheel well though. Without a front sway bar and heavy shocks in the back, they all act like waterbeds and lean around turns .
