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)
And what do you guys think about these? Attached image(s) |

The very first thing to decide is whether you are going to run an LSD because that will have the biggest influence on your set up. Otherwise, what JP says. I'm running 23mm front, 300lbs rear, 20mm front bar and 16mm rear bar, yellow Koni adjustables but with a ZF.
If you are not going to run an LSD, then you would have to run softer in the rear, probably down about 225lbs and maybe no rear bar. The downside is that it would tend to understeer a bit on turn in and pick up an inside front on exit, but with that much rubber it wouldn't be too bad. Cheers, |
