Hi all,
I'd like to get some advice from you track guys to help me decide on which size torsion bars I should upgrade to. I have a similar question on A-arm bushings. I have a 930 front suspension (stock) and would like my car to handle the bigger road course tracks better. I'm thinking my stock front 18.8mm torsion bars are a bit wimpy and also thought of upgrading the stock rubber A-arm bushings to a stiffer set. Those two upgrades should help enormously. I have new Bilstein sports on all corners and 185 lb springs in the back. I suppose the spring rate should be higher for the track...maybe 250 or more. My car is V-8 powered and weighs about 2550lbs with spare tire, top on, tools, full gas, etc. All advice welcomed! Thanks, Bill (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
