I have gotten to the point where I need to consider the spring rate. The rear trailing arms are in with true 5 lug hubs, 911 brakes, and some reinforcement. The shocks are bilstein sport. It is a road car with 16 in wheels running no flares so the tire size will be 205.
I have the original springs from the 1972 four cylinder donor. So ladies and gentlemen, please help me with shopping, or not shopping. Thank you! |

Dumb question is the spring rate the same on Weltmeister springs versus Eibach?
I was running 21mm front and Weltmeister 140's in the rear with a 901 gear box. I was quite happy with the setup. I also had a 22mm sway bar in front and the stock sway bar in the rear. I just changed the trans to an 86 915 trans, so I upped the rear springs to 165. The car isn't running yet, so I can't comment yet. |
