Didn't want to hijack the sway bar thread, so here is MY question looking for advice:
'76 2.0 ...... I have sitting at home waiting to be installed: Bilstein shocks all around, 165 lb springs and 22mm front sway bar (and of course Turbo tie rod kit, new ball joints and soon Elephant A-arm bushings). Have new Falken 195/60-15 tires. Question: Street car only, should I upgrade to larger torsion bars or will stock be o.k. on a non-AX car, but driving in the Rockies......? |

I have been Autocrossing since last August. 8 events Drove to all of them. Pretty crappy roads around New Orleans.
Stock torsion bars, 150lbs rear coil overs Adjustable koni's all around. Weltmiester 21 front bar and stock rear bar. Poly bushings in control arms, trailing arms and sway bars. Little rough on the street Pretty nuetral on the AX track. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) My buddy said he could see daylight under the tires after one certain bump on I-10 All I know is I went UUGGHHH! when I hit. |
