Turbo Boy :-))

I chose these because they were used and the right price. I dont have the rears in yet. After I get them all in you will have to take it for a ride and see if you think it is too stiff. I was looking for 21 - 23 for the front and 29 - 31 for the rear. Jack had 21/30s in BB1 so that has to be a pretty good set up. Go to rennlist and look in the technical articles section under suspension. Read Will Ferchs stuff, very enlightening.

EW,

Thanks. Spoke with Bob @ Performance Imports and he says nothing over 30mm in the rear 'cause the cars a Cabriolet. But Don, my old mechanic, says get the biggest bars you can find.

I want the car to be tighter on the street, but not a kidney pounder. Then again, that Turbo might need bigger diameter...

Mike, at one point I had all my fender heights exactly (with in 2mm) right after putting in new torsion bars. Car pulled like crazy even after a wheel alignment! Got it corner balanced and re aligned and it drives perfectly now. The fender heights are still near perfect! PFMagic

Cheers, Jeff
