Posted by: sk8kat1 Mar 14 2006, 09:32 PM

well I have sold another possesion to get more cash for the teener...

so my question is this ...

if the current set up is out back: stock sways and 140# springs

in front : turbo tie rods, koni yellows , and stock sways

am I gonna be out of "balance " .. do I need to upgrade to the 19mm sways in the front?

.....I also plan in the near future to add the koni yellows to the rear...

or should I add the koni out back before it is nessisary to swap the front sways?

Actually that is a pretty typical set up here in Norcal. Our old classification of Bi (B improved) used 140s in the rear with/without sway, konis or bils.
Front was stock torsions with either stock or adjustable 19 or 22 sway bar. Konis or bils.

works very nicely for a street driven car with some AX or Track duty.
Had 2 914-4s with that set up and they drove very nicely.

Stock sway and 140's is going to be tail happy... BTDT.... way too "exciting"...

Go up to 19mm sway to balance the 140's...

...or something stiffer on both ends
