I am trying to decide on whether to upgrade the torsion bars, say 22 or 23 or go with coil overs in the front with not sure what rate springs. Any comments on either?

I would suggest the amount of effort & expense on suspension mods should be consistent with the amount of money you're willing to spend on tires.
If you don't buy Hoosiers or other top level tires to be competetive then there's no point in front coilovers. Take care of the inexpensive things, especially time behind the wheel, first. |

Chris, the reason I want to tweak the suspension, is because I am running Hoosiers. You are, however, absolutely correct about the seat time. The thing is, I can't do quality seat time while I am waiting for the next event. So then, with that said, the price of front coilovers is about the same as a 21mm torsion bar. In your opinion, which way should I go. I thought with the coil overs, I would have more adjustments or is there a way to adjust the torsion bars, other than the obvious adjuster nuts? |
