I'm looking for a table that would have the following proven and or tested setups:




914 Suspension Matrix
Component
StockStreetAuto-XRace
Torsion Bars (mm)XXmmXXmmXXmm
Rear Springs (lbs)XXXXXXXXXXXX


Of course, much more info needs to be added with comments and warnings about teeth rattling out or oversteer/understeer

There's nothing wrong with healthy debate. Problems arise when someone can't keep his (or her) ego in check.....that's never happened here, right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
