I picked these up second hand and wondered if a stock 911 would use torsion bars this big. I assume that there Porsche parts because of the part numbers stamped on the ends.
I also noticed that one was stamped for the right side, the other isn't stamped. Should I assume that the unnamed one is the left? The car is a dedicated track car and I've been using the stock 914 bars. Time to beef up the suspension. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Attached image(s)

nice articles!
Not sure where you want to go with the rear spring rates but I would presume more, maybe around 250#? Also depends on how you like car set up (stiff vs soft). I imagine that if all you did was improve the front you would get a lot of understeer. As you mention, its a bit of in for a pinch, in for a pound, as you will find yourself likely chasing shocks, sways and springs to get it where you want. Also, I imagine if running an LSD that would impact handling. |
