Suspension setup advice needed!

K, here's the skinny. '71T 935 DP Street turbo body. Fiberglass front end (hood, fenders, air dam). Front suspension: Aluminum crossmember, 15mm thru body sway bar w/adjustable links. Turbo tie rods, monoball plates, 21mm sway away torsion bars, koni adjustables, C2 Front calipers, New ball joints, Bronze bushings, tri-angulated strut brace, Etoile 15x8 with AVS 225's.

Rear Suspension: Aluminum trailing arms, 25mm torsion bars, 18mm sway bar, mono-balls, koni adjustable shocks, Adjustable spring plates. Etoile 15X11.5 with AVS 345's.

Motor to be: 3.5 N/A coupled to a 915.

Car will be street only.

Now for the questions. With this set-up am I going to be running to small of torsion and sway bars? Should I go 22/28 t'bars and 22mm frt/rr sway bars? It is in the torn down stage and now is the time to make final supension parts list. Any advice is appreciated. Also, rear bumper, and deck/lid tail is fiberglass and doors and rear fenders are steel.

You're going to want a larger rear bar. In my '77, the 3.6L was too much for the rear bar, so I went to 29mm, which is OK for the street, but I need to upgrade again for the track.

Seems kinda sad to put all those goodies on a street-only car

Not sad, fun! It may not be on the track per se, but I love those country roads!
