I'm ready to dive into improving the handling of my car. I will be 90% street driven, but by no means a daily driver so I dont care about ride quality. It's all about performance

Here is what I have planned so far:
  • Weltmeister 19mm or 22mm Front bar (Can anyone let me know if I need the 22mm)
  • PP 165lb rear springs
  • Koni's all around, adjustable if I can get them.
  • No rear sway
  • New rims and tires, probably 5 lug fuchs with 195/60's on them.
Any comments or suggestions are always appreciated!

cavwpguy,
Sorry to disagree but you are the first person ever to say run a rear bar and the front bar is a toss up. Your car must oversteer like crazy. Mine did when I ran front and a rear bars and I took the rear bar out. And now I can't give the thing away.


You will quickly find that your 19mm is maxed out when you really start to drive the car. I ONLY recommend the 22 now. Its a waste of time buy the 19mm and end up with it set on full stiff 6 months after learning the car. Buy the 22mm and set it in the middle to start off. It will give you room to "adjust".

Paul, I have been driving CaVW's car for 4-5 days now... it is ROCK solid with this setup (I installed it).. I'm going with larger sway bars in the front to compensate for lack of torsion bars (CaVW has stock bars) Once we install a larger torsion bars.. my adjustability range changes... so start off with a larger bar (more range of adjustment) We really like the cars to be a little softer sprung and run a big front bar and a rear bar. You wont see Rob's car lifting a tire..ever.
