Bear with me: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
  • how long do torsion bars last?
  • I want stiffer than stock Tbars up front- what size is ~ equal to 140 lb rears?
  • I have a 911 front suspension to go in, so i can run used 911 torsion bars?
  • Is this a good idea?
  • What were the stock sizes for 911/914's?
  • thats it for now?
Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

It should have 19's in it then... it sounds quite complete. It's a perfect setup for an agressively driven street car (IMHO).

Again, check for rust inside the tubes. With everything off the car the t-bars should be in a position where they slide right out. Bring a small flashlight with you when you pick it up. Pull the bars and inspect them but don't make it a deal breaker... I'm sure Karl will give you a great deal on his (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Look down the tubes and see if they're rusty. Some would be expected but chunks etc. would be a bad thing.

When checking the t-bars make sure they're not worn, chipped or rusty. "Small" imperfections can be touched up but major gouges just aren't worth it.

Here's a pic of some "real" damage I found on my 911. I'm lucky it didn't snap in two.
