Adam,
By next weekend, do you mean the 19-20th? If so, stop by my place in Afton on Saturday - we are having a pig roast! If you can stop in, let me know and I'll give you directions. We can compare SCs.

Well I can comment since I am at the end of my upgrades (yeah right!)

I started with sway bushing and new rear drop links, Koni sport adjustible shocks, lowered to Euro height and put in new front WM A-arm bushings. This year I finished it off by taking out the WM bushing (squeaky) and put in Elephant racing poly bronze, 21/27 Sway-a-way torsions, and a bump steer kit. How it corner balanced and new front (drilled) rotors pads and ATE blue brake fluid.

Your right now I have to see her on the track. I like to do things in stages so I can see the improvements, and I will say that once lowered with the Konis it was a very firm ride with a hoppy tendency over the bumps. Now that I have the bigger torsions it's amazing, seems just right to me; firm but very stable (it was "floaty" in the factory configuration, and really leaned in the corners) The shock and torsions made a huge difference.

I had some adjustible sways, but I sold them for two reasons; I didn't want to cut into the body and I feel with the suspension it has now, I'm the weakest point.

And once you get everything done you will need better seats to hold you in place ;)

Get a set of Weltmesiter Sway Bars (front/rear).

These are a huge bang-for-the-buck upgrade, especially on a car that for the most part, only sees fun track time, but mostly street usage.

You most likely will not want to, or need to, go to stiffer torsion bars.

This, and a set of Bilstein Sports front/rear, a strut brace, turbo tie rods, and a good alignment/corner balance, will transform the car.

You can go to stiffer springs (torsoion bars), different busihngs, different camber plates, etc..., taking our the compliance built into the suspension, but you are taking the car from a street car, to a track car at this point. (not necessarily a bad thing... if you don't mind driving the car by yourself.. )

Good luck,



TonyG
