I am coming close to finishing my Subaru SVX 3.3L engine swap into my '73. The 3.3L is heavier than the other Suby motors. I currently have front and rear sway bars and stock torsion bars (am looking into different front 911 suspensions). This car is for fun weekend trips through the mountains where I live. I would rather have the better handling over the comfy ride. I saw Pelican had 180# rear springs and renegade is selling 200#. Where are people buying 250# springs? Is this going to be overkill for my car? Thanks

I don't know that a 3,3 Subie is 400 lbs heavier than a 2,0 T-IV but I have a 3,0 Subie engine (still happily in service in the Ourback, thank you...) and I can see it being a bunch heavier. |
