The suspension on my car is tired, so I'm considering a complete overhaul. It's an AX street car, so I've started looking at switching to coilovers all-round.
I'd like to hear from anyone who has them about your set-ups/experiences: What springs you're running, what shocks you're running, did you have to reinforce your shock towers, are you running just springs up front or a spring/torsion bar mix, do you have raised spindles, and anything else you think might be useful. I've been looking at the elephant racing site, they have great stuff and there's obviously a lot of R&D behind their packages, but I'm wondering if I can put something together myself for less $$$$. Thanks John |

lots of torsion bars available
there are charts to show their effective spring rates for comparison purposes. available in hollow or solid, many heavier rates, and even 914 vs 911 splines the front coil overs will be available in more finite rates, if say you wanted 25lbs more than X.... where as the bars rates are spaced slightly further apart but for a street car or DE/casual autox car, no need to go to coil overs spend the money on tires is this a car driven to the events, or trailered? a nice dual use car would be great with stock front torsion bars, or 19mm 911 front torsion bars... 140 or 150 rear springs.... decent bushings... and a big sway bar PLUS GOOD TIRES and GOOD brake pads brant |
