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? |

Here is what happens when you make a Koni change:
The effect: you are slightly increasing the front spring rate when you set them full hard and set the rear full soft. Case in point: car is slinging the rear end around in tight slow speed corners... set front shocks more firm. This will keep the weight from transferring forward as quickly. B |
