914 Li-Ion suspension

[David Hale]

hi, Now that I've removed 800 pounds of excess lead from the car, putting me back at stock curb weight, I'd like to go back to the stock suspension. ElectroAuto's kit came with beefier torsion bars and heavier rear springs. My ride is really stiff. Those of you that have also switched to lithium, did you change your suspension? I was just looking at Pelican and it isn't clear what I need to buy, so I thought I'd check and see what people have used. Thanks, Dave.

I just changed my batteries out after 3.5 years. I chickened out and used lead-acid AGM batteries again. Congratulations on your upgrade.

PS-I like astronomy too.

Added about 260 lbs to the curb weight with my lithium pack.

Didn't change the suspension a single iota.
