Ok, winter work is about to begin. I'll have stock front torsion bars, new boge shocks and 19mm Weltmeister front bar.

With stock rear boges, what rear spring will work best for street with occasional fun runs and/or autocross?

100# Weltsmeister? or something else?

Should I spring ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chairfall.gif) ) for adjustable rear purches?

have adjustable Koni's all round (set full soft), stock torsion bars, and 140s. Car seems very balanced for street driving.

So... 140s would be my vote on springs.


(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I have the same setup on my car, works nice. I have a stock sway bar up front and I disconnected the rear bar. For Axing I just set the Koni's to full firm, 40psi in the Falkens, and hold on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
