Ok, I am in Iraq as most of you know. But I will be hitting my car hard when I come home. But the correct way, with good shit. Right now I am looking at suspension options.....This car will mainly be an autox car...and occasional weekend screw off car. I do not car how stiff it is. My passengers can suffer for all I care. Right now I have purchased Bilstein rears, turbo tie rods, and solid Tarett trans mounts...I was wondering what I should go with for the rear springs, front torsion bars, and front shocks. I will be converting to 5 lug, with the intention of using Eric Shea's front and rear conversion. My brake calipers will be stock 4 all the way around (with the intention of upgrading to s calipers or volvos later in the front). I want to run pagid orange pads, a 19mm Master C., a T fitting in the rear, and stainless lines all the way around. Also I intend to run Falken Azenis (205 R50) all around. Sorry for being so long...just wanted to give you a good idea...

I will say my question again...since It got lost somewhere in the middle of my description.
What Rear Springs? (I can deal with 180+, I am not a pussy, lol)
What Front Torsion bars ? 21-23???
Front Shocks?
Also I am going for a front Tarett bar? Anything against that?

josh -- it was my impression that the koni yellows adjusted both rebound and compression... be interested in hearing what others say.

Oh I -wish-!

Nope... Off the shelf Koni yellow's are rebound only...
