Hello all-
So, I'm finally able to turn my attention to the suspension on my car now that it's running. The car was hacked for a v8 when I got it and I have instead done my Hayabusa engine swap. I'll have to make a separate thread on the adaptor setup, but it's mounted north south and uses the original 901 trans. Dynos at about 300whp with turbo. 2k lbs overall weight. Narrow body. The PO added some crazy stiff rear springs on coilover sleeves and they need to go. Also the front is way too stiff. It's all 911 front suspension and brake parts. Questions: I'm thinking about 140# springs in the back, but how long a spring should I use. 14"? 12"? Helper springs? In the front I think it might have like 21mm bars, and that's way too stiff. Are normal 19mm 911 bars soft enough for a street driven 914? Or are there thinner 911 compatible bars? Thanks! |
