So looking for opinions before a final wheel alignment.
Here is the setup I currently have: Front- Boge inserts Stock torsion bars Newly installed stock swaybar Newly installed turbo tie rods. Rear Boge shocks ? Springs- believe stock. -This is about the only thing on the suspension I haven't touched. Open to opinions. At this point I haven't driven the car and am thinking that the car may oversteer much since the rear rate is unknown and should consider the rear before the alignment. Most say to up the rear spring rate. I am looking for at least a comfortable ride with firm handling characteristics. Thoughts from the Collective? I found this thread which was helpful but am looking for real world experiences. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...t&id=128658 As Always Thanks in Advance, Rob |

In my opinion the stock (70-80) or replacement (100) are not enough for the car.
The progressive 140 lb springs are the best all around. |
