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) |

Thanks for the input guys.
I want to go as far as I can and still be streetable. I plan on installing a torque sensing or LSD in my 901. Haven't decided which one yet. From what I hear the torque sensing is better suited for AX. Is this true? So if I go with 300# rear springs I'm looking at 21 to 23 T bars and 22 to 20 sway bar up front. JP are you running a rear bar like Downunderman? What type of valving you running on your shocks? |

The clutch type has the tendency to cause our light frontends (and most other cars) to push......a no no at AX. I ran no rear AR bar as I was running a TB diff. They don't work with one rear wheel off the ground......but ask Randal how his new TB diff worked. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) That is not to say that this could not be overcome but I never tried one. I've long since lost the valving specs off the shocks......but the rebound is very soft....no pumpng down here. Call Bilstein West & ask them what they recommend.....the cost was 65 bucks per shock + any parts needed. As it was set up, the suspension was streetable....but not for long distance stuff. The suspension was compliant ......due to the shock valving & needle bearings, me thinks. The AX venue whare we spent the majority of our time is rough as about any road you would come across. The 300 lb rear springs were an experiment.....275s were the final choice as they kept both rear wheels planted( pre TBD days)....250s didn't. |
