Vintage racing suspension Options

[BillJ]

So contemplating doing the suspension next year and want to accumulate parts. Knowing that vintage wants you to stay true to period what is the max we can do for suspension goodies? Lets call it SVRA rules as they seem to be the strictest....

Bushings, strut inserts, sways, torsion bars, etc. What are you guys willing to.share on setup? I will be running a 2.4 ltr.

Well this all took an interesting turn (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)

Aside from truly spec series with sealed engines and true limits there are going to be rule benders. Here in the Porsche world Norbert Singer is a legend for cars like the 935 that totally broke the spirit of the rules but stayed within them and he became the smartest man in racing.

In historic racing we arent professionals (although pro drivers come and cameo from time to time) and the world isnt watching and championships arent making the news or the radar for manufacturers. However it is generally populated by folks with deep pockets and supported by shops that want to win. It is only natural that rules are going to be bent. The challenge of keeping everyone on their best behavior while still ensuring the series is healthy is probably a pretty tricky thing to pull off. I show up with my own trailer and do a lot of work myself and cannot compete with the arrive and drive crowd. My best hope is to find someone in my class to have fun with. The guys that really want to win and deep pockets will.

Which all leads to the question:

So should i go with elephant bearing bushings or stick with the hard race poly versions? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
