To make a short story long, my rear shocks failed and I pulled the rear shocks off my parts car to keep it on the road. Turns out there was a nice set of Weltmeister 140# springs on KYB shocks. It was a harsh ride to say the least. Anyway, I manned up and bought a pair of Koni Sport shocks and put the Weltmeister springs on them. The ride was immediately smoother. (I set the Konis 1/2 turn from full soft.)
My question is this: Should I install stiffer torsion bars in the front to match the stiffer rears? And if so, do you have a recommendation? |
