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?

the coil overs and torsion bars are both adjustable for height
the torsion bars carry more of their weight on the chassis and less on the wheel, so in that sense the torsion bars are superior in the sprung/unsprung weight perspective the coil overs allow for quicker spring changes, and more variety of spring rates. This is the manner they are superior so if you intend to change spring rates for each and every track you go to then the coil overs can be be the way to go. You will still need to realign and recorner balance every event also. they don't do anything else magical they don't give you any magical adjustments they aren't legal in MANY clubs and classes, so read the rules for your class. they aren't legal in any vintage clubs I know of. brant |
