So contemplating doing the suspension next year and want to accumulate parts. Knowing that vintage wants you to stay true to period what is the max we can do for suspension goodies? Lets call it SVRA rules as they seem to be the strictest....
Bushings, strut inserts, sways, torsion bars, etc. What are you guys willing to.share on setup? I will be running a 2.4 ltr. |
