I have a stock '76 2.0L car and have been pretty successful in AutoX at the local PCA and SCCA level. For PCA, I run in the PA class.
I currently have red Koni's (age unknown) with 90 pound springs on the car. I also have front and rear factory sway bars. The shock/spring combo seem to work well enough for street and reasonably aggressive driving My problem is that my rear end seems to come up and dance all over the place when I'm AutoX'ing and I'm trying to get it more planted for the upcoming season. I've had folks recommend I upgrade my rear springs to everything from 140 up to 180 lbs. Any thoughts on what springs I should go with? I'm not looking to replace the shocks and springs or do any other suspension changes right now as I can drive the car very well in AutoX, but want to try and pickup some handling and hopefully a little time. Below is a pic of my car from behind to give you an idea of what I'm trying to correct. Thoughts? I appreciate any and all comments! :-) |
