Coil overs, What do you think? Options

[jmill]

I saw these from RSR and they look pretty sweet. Does anyone run these? I have 911 Boge struts with 3.5 spacing now. Do you know if the A caliper will bolt up to these? What weight spring do I need? It'll be on a street/track 6. I'd like it more track than street. Is there something better or cheaper out there?

I agree with Chris H, corner balancing on torsion bars shouldn't be hard... no less than coil overs.

Raising the overall weight of some springs and perches, lets assume 6lbs, 18inches center mass vertical, from the position of the torsion bars.

Now lets go ape here, and compare our beloved 914 to a totally different car. In very rough numbers(from what i've done research on), when adding weight to Formula 1 cars, each 10 kg slows the car down roughly 0.4% (around 0.3 seconds a lap depending on the track), at .9kW/kg or 1250hp/tonne.

Now, how does that 6lbs sound? Don't eat those Chipotle burritos and steer clear of those beers the week before your track event... you'll make up the time that way. Keep it relative guys. Cheers.
