I’d be grateful for some spring rate advice for my vintage race 914.
It’s a narrow body 2L six, 205/50 tires all around. Front torsion bars with adjustable sway bar. Rear is Bilstein Sports with adjustable spring perches, and a fixed sway bar. My personal preference leans to a relatively softer spring all around. Any recommendations for both torsion bar size and rear spring rate? Thanks! Gavin VARAC #58 |

What diameter front torsion springs do you have?
We run 911 front torsions which are bigger than -4 I currently run 21mm hollow front with 275lb rear Brant |
