my car is now off the jackstands and the fenders aren't hitting anymore. =-)
first thing i noticed is that the front end only compresses an inch or so with my back side sitting on the left or right quarter. >200lbs. the stock suspension felt almost soft compared to this. i think the tortion bars are 2mm larger. does this sound normal? |

it'll be stiffer, but without looking at the torsion bar chart, I'd say no more than 50lbs worth of spring resistance...the shocks and condition of the rubber bushings makes a huge differance....old rock hard bushings are not a good thing (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Mike, Thanks for that info. I think of you as the bearing and bushing guru. Unless I strike it rich I'll never become a serious racer but I do enjoy a fairly tight, fair weather, street car. If I discovered that my bushings were in need of replacement what would you suggest ? |
