back 5 minutes...already have another question, rear springs....a question of balance Options

[Joseph Mills]

My car has 180# springs in the back with 19 or 21mm torsion bars front. Koni adjustables all around.

This summer I installed a 22mm Weltmiester swaybar to cure some EXCESSIVE oversteer (to put it mildly).

Now it's about as neutral handling as you could hope for on the street. At 60mph on off-ramps taking it up to the final point of adhesion, you can abruptly apply throttle lift and the back-end just jumps out a little....real nice. If you floor the throttle, it will slowly start to push. ALL VERY controllable.

But at slower 30-40mph speeds typical of some tight autocross turns, it has a slight tendancy to push. I've always heard that slow speed pushing is very difficult to overcome. But I hope that I can still get the car to rotate a little better yet.

I'm considering going to 200# springs. I've even considered 220 or 240# springs, but I don't want to end up with TOO much oversteer again.

I know many of you have been here before. What shall I do? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Are you sure of your alignment. I just got a corner balance and agressive street alignment and it helped every aspect of the cars handling. I still don't know what the car is capable of since the old limits don't apply anymore. Might be a thought.
