I had a question on the pics forum and was guided to post a new thread. This was probably discussed before, but here goes... I have recently added new steel flares and larger rims(17x7and 8) Does any one believe because of this the susp. should be "BEEFED" up. I currenly have stock BOGE struts and 170# springs.The rims are secured to the original 4 bolt hubs. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) Cheers,Dion

73 with a sway bar?
I would upgrade either the sway bar or the T bars or both when you have 170's in the rear. Thats shootin for some MAJOR oversteer. Can you say lift throttle oversteer? lol A good known combo for stock cars is 140's in the rear, koni shocks all around, 19mm sway bar, and 19mm T bars (I think factory is like 17 on each.. forget) but a 21mm sway bar would be fine. Its all about gettin it "there" then doing adjustments. With more tire you CAN run more bar in the rear... but still. Maybe downgrading to 140 lb springs would be best? How stiff is the ride? This is all my opinion. Im sure others will chime in. |
