sounds like your suspension is pretty much what we used to run in Bi class.

problem is you get nailed just as much for 140# rear springs as I do for 21mm front torsion bars AND 180# rears....ah the vagaries of our points system (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
the submarine could be turned into a track car very easily...I think the guy is just trying to talk himself out of it....
I am surprised that is hasn't sold before now.

In thinking about it I believe most of our suspensions are fairly similar for cars driving at Zone 7 events. I'm using 21mm front bar, original stock bushings, 19mm front torsions, 250 lb rear springs and Koni yellows in rear and Bilstien sports in the front. Essentially only effective change I made from my T4 setup was to add a little heavier spring rate when the six went in. Nothing special or trick ...yet.

I havent looked at super zoomie T4 suspensions - have they done anything trick?
