Suspension setup recommendations daily driver / rough roads Options

[skota23]

Hi folks,

Now that I have my car running well it’s time to start making it handle how I want and would like some advice. It’s a 74 2.0

Here’s what it has now,
Front sway bar (factory)
Stock torsion bars
Struts, not sure but the car came with a used set of konis (rebuilding konis an option?)

Rear
Kyb’s these I’m thinking about replacing with bilstiens with adjustable spring perches
140# springs, I’m thinking 100# to replace them

Tires are old 205/60/15’s that I’m planning on replacing with 185/70 vredestein

I’d like to raise the car up a bit for ground clearance and comfort but not compromise handling too much.

I’d appreciate anyone’s thoughts.

Thank you,
Steve

You would be Surprised at how well, the car handles at its proper alignment, height & geometry, and factory dampening.
Boge shocks, factory rated springs. I’ve found for street driving they’re very good. Maybe
A bit short life in the rears. With only slightly larger tires.
