LS1, 914,996 suspension

The build is looking good!
I am a big fan of 914 v8 swaps and still remember a article about a gold or orange one with a wide-body kit, big aluminum wing on struts and fat BBS rims in the 1970’s. Sort of a anti-hotrod hotrod.

You asked about spring-rates in another thread which is something I have been messing with. I started by choosing a effective spring rate (for me 300lbs. per inch as a starting point) then figuring my spring ratio (1” of wheel travel = x” of spring travel) front and rear (to keep them close) and buying the spring to match.
This was just a starting point as when I started dynamic tuning things changed.
How do you plan to drive the car? Street, track, autocross, all three?
