I think I saw somewhere that the lower mount for the front strut could be moved to improve handling. Any info on this?

QUOTE(mepstein @ Jul 13 2024, 10:21 AM)  First learn about suspension setup or get an informed overview from someone who knows what they are doing. Then decide what you want to accomplish and how you plan to do it. Then buy parts, make modifications, etc. Just doing random things to your car because you heard it might be better is like traveling without a map or destination. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Start with small changes first! Learn how to tune what you have... The 914 has a WONDERFUL front upper mount that allows easy suspension adjustments on the fly. First get used to what you already have the ability to do. The lower mount would be one of the last things I'd mess with while learning how to tune my suspension. Now, one mod I have bought already installed in a set of 911 A-arms is this set up. https://www.elephantracing.com/porsche/914/...914/polybronze/ And these https://www.elephantracing.com/porsche/914/...trol-arm-mounts Those self-centering mounts do allow some suspension adjustment. It has to do more with how braking effects the front suspension (you can alter the "anti-dive response") but the changes you can achieve with these are MINOR IMO. Now, I'm also planning on using an adjustable front sway bar and that is a GOOD mod IMO... Like this. https://tarett.com/products/front-swaybar-a...AiABEgKpRvD_BwE That will change the "feel" more than anything else... |
