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)

My $ .02. In the January Pano, Mr. Mayo answers a tech question about swaybar set-up for a beginning auto-crosser; "I came up with a set-up 20 years ago that I've used on my car and many customer cars.Everyone has liked it, as it seems to be competitive, yet very streetable. I use 150 pounds springs on adjustable-perch gas Koni's, 21mm torsion bars with adjustable gas Koni's, a 19mm adjustable front sway bar adn no rear bar. I remove the front shock tower protective tubes (you have to cut the spot welds and remove the washer end off of the top of the tube and install it, as it is what prevents the shock from going through the rubber strut mount). Cut off the two softer sections of the rubber bump stop, set the front ride height so that you have an inch and a half of travel before the shock hits the bump stop. Set the rear height so the car sits level. Properly corner weight it, set the rear camber for -2 1/2 degrees the front for all you can get, usually about -1 3/4. Set the rear to have +1/16 inch toe in per wheel, and the front for -1/16th inch toe out per wheel......." This may not help you because it sounds like you may be beyond this set-up, but it may help some other small-frye, like it did for me. Let us know how it goes!
