Building a Street/Track car, think more track than street. The car is flared with 16x7's and 16x8's. Building a 2.4 6 with 2.2S p/c's and 911 front suspension. I need some advice on front torsion bar size, rear springs, inserts/shocks, and sway bar size. Thanks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

There are a buch of "stages" I went through. Stock T bars & 140lb rear springs thru 21mm T bars with 300lb rear springs & lightening the car from around 2200 to 1700 lbs....it took years. Through it all Bilstein shocks (the cat's ass IMO)....revalving upgrade in their later life. The trick is setting the front to rear spring rates balanced to one another, throwing in a front AR bar to the mix so it can be adjusted either softer or stiffer ....I started with a 19 mm and ended up with a 22mm (effective....hollow 25mm) Tarett AR bar. How far do you want to go? BTW, I like the Rebel bushings but have never used them. I did needle bearings. |
