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

Wouldn't people with bigger balls want a cushier ride, so they don't bounce around as much? That could hurt!

I think that you would need some way to quantify the result of each setup. Something like this setup allows you to pull this many lateral G's, or this setup is better for autocross, etc. Seems like there would be a whole lot of variables to take in to account, but a general guide could be useful.
