Hey all,
Gathering suspension parts for my track car and I'm trying to make up my mind I'd like to go with yellow adj. Koni's. Does anybody now up to what spring rate the yellow Koni's can handle? Should I go for torsion bars (22 or 23mm) I can have the struts modified for coilovers for about the same money I'd need to spend on the t-bars Coil over springs are pretty cheap and I wouldn't be stuck with just one spring rate Any info on springrates in relation to the weight of the car? I'm aiming for about 1750# for the car and was thinking about starting with 275 or 300# rear springs Does anybody know the spring rates for the front torsion bars? I've been looking into it, but different sources quote (very) different rates (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) Anybody running big front t-bars (22 or 23mm), what springs are you using in the rear? I know, lots of questions, but I'm trying to figure out my options, so any advise is welcome Right now I'm looking at too many unknowns to make a decent guestimate thanks... Jeroen |

Jereon.
My top secret suspension set up is: Front: Bilstein RSR raised spindle struts 450# springs 19mm sway bar Rear: Bilstein RSR shocks 350# springs sway bar disconnected The p/o told me he had the shock revalved, but Im not so sure of that..when I bought the car it had 650 front 600 rear springs.. and hand some handling "issues" Ive got my car dialed in the way I like it, its very nuetral, corners very flat. I do have some concerns about to much weight transfer under hard braking... curing that is this years project! |
