Upgrading torsions...anything else I should do while I'm in there?
 

Pretty self-explanatory title. This is for an autocross car, so I'm curioius as to what bushings I should install while I'm in there, or if the bushings are affected at all. I'll be getting some adustable spring plates at sometime in the future, so I don't have to do the SP bushings yet. Does it make sense to do anything else while I'm in there?

Thanks,

IMO: elephant racing polybronze bushings are the way to go. More expensive, and certainly worth it. Available here at pelican I believe.

which bushings are those Andy?

not cheap, BUT....search for "polybronze bushings" and there are many opinions and comparisons. these get rave reviews.

The elephant racing bushings are by far the best. I went with the cheaper weltmeister polygraphite ones and it was a lot of work to get a good fit but it went well. Do a search on bushings and you'll find tons of info.
Near the bottom of this thread you'll see my install of the front. The rear was pretty similar with the sway-a-way plates and polyurethane bushings.

Once you get them in let me know. If you want to come over we can corner balance it in my garage if you want. I've got a set of Ruggles scales.

You should do the adustable spring plates now. If you wait you will have to do alot of work twice.

Exactly. Used adjustable spring plates go for $100 a pair. Do it once!

Anyone want to comment on the stock "SC" springplates VS. the Sway Aways? The stock ones are cheaper, obviously, but not as adjustable. The question is...how much adjustment do you need?
