68 911 Suspension Advice Please

[Lyndon302]

I have a 68 911 with 130 k miles on it. I'm getting a cart sorted with Pelican as if I get in now I will miss the 15 percent. GST our government will apply July one.
What are the basic choices for front and rear suspension bushings. I have not pulled it apart and unclear on what I need. I want to freshen it up. It has new tie rods and rear shocks.
Thoughts please.
Thanks Lyndon

Hi Lyndon:

Your choices will depend on your intended use of the car. If is just street/spirited driving, the stock parts are more than adequate. Once you start on track use, the options and cost expand quickly.

How are you planning on using the car?

Go with the stock rubber bushings unless it’s a track car.

Thanks. I will go with that.

Agreed...stock or Elephant rubbing bushings. Factory sway bars, don't lower it too much...leave that for the Stance Works guys. Then finish it off with some high quality tires with a stiffer sidewall...I prefer Avon. A soft sidewall tire will ruin the cars handling! You will be very happy with the results.

You wouldn't know the sway bar size for a 68 ??? Chance.

FWIW.

My 1973.5 with 166,000 miles has a mostly stock suspension. A few upgrades were done a few years ago. I drive on the street for fun and autocross 5-8 times a year.

My suspension has turbo torsion bars (21 mm front/26 mm rear).
Front and rear 19 mm adjustable sway bars.
I replaced my rear spring plates bushes with neatrix parts. All other bushes are stock and original.
Bilstein HD fronts and Sport rears.
For the street I use 16x6 Fuchs with 205/55-16 Continental Extreme Contact Sport as tires and auto cross on 15x6 cookie cutters with Toyo RR 205/50-15 tires.

I had Rothsport lower/corner balance/align the car and apply his "secret sauce". Car rides and handles great.

One data point for your consideration.
