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 |

That is great advice - thanks. And sort of what I was thinking.
One more race, then probably 22mm hollow bars and 300lb rear springs (keeping the rear sway bar) over winter. I’ve raced this car 25 years, and I don’t think big changes would make it any more fun for me. Gavin |
