74, stock 2.0, stock front swaybar - no rear bar, stock front inserts, may mount an older set of adjustable Koni's I already have on the back, either way 100 lb springs, 195/65 Eagle GT's.
Looking to have fun, not too worried about much else, but I have a few basic setup questions: I'm going to chalk the tires, but what pressure should I start at? Full tank, half tank or empty tank? Spare tire in or out? The konis need to be adjusted out of the car - soft, medium or firm (keep in mind I will have to live with it on NH streets too)? Should I overfill the oil a bit? If so how much? What am I missing? Thanks, Scott |

Take a look at the bar, the stock ones I have removed had multiple holes in the bar facing forward.
Its not as fine an adjustment as the one I have, but you dont need to fine tune, you need large steps right now to reduce body roll. Dont move it more than one step at a time. Get used to it.. Or do it like I know you will....but watch out for the front end pushing... You dont want a super stiff front with a soft rear... you want a balance, based upon everything else in your car. A little bit more bar up front might solve this. When is the next Autox? I may have a few things you can borrow to stiffen it up for the event (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) rich |
