My 914-6 GT Tribute car will for sporting street use with a twin plug carbureted 3.2SS engine. I am not sure if I should be using 100 or 150 lb springs.
Any suggestions? |

I got talked into 180s when I did the swap. Dropped back down to 140s and it rides and turns better.
Front end is stock 911 Carrera. Turns out the weight increase wasn't really that big. |
