supension '70 911 for road and historic rallyes

Hi, I have a '70 911T with S-specs. I want to upgrade my suspension and brakes for street use and some historic rallying. I consider upgrading sway bars front and rear and maybe the torsion bars. The tires will be 195/65/15 Michelin's. The dampers are new Bilsteins. But what seize of sway bars and what torsion bars?

Welcome to the best 911 board on the planet.

A search will find lots of opinions. I personally like Steve Weiners (Welcome to Rennsport Systems, Porsche Performance Products for the 21st Century)

On my 1971 targa, I run Bilstein HD shocks, Carrera sway bars, and 911SC torsion bars. It's a very comfortable ride and the handling is quite good for a nearly 40 year old car.

Where are you located? If you're in Europe, go see the Tuthills
