Longhood Torsion Bar Specs - sway bars
Years ago now I had an 84 Targa with 22/29s, Elephant bushings, Bilstein Sports, 17s w/ Victoracers, corner-balanced, lowered and so on. That car just flew through corners. Long gone, very fond memories.
Current car: 73 with anemic but "sporty" 69T motor, 19/26s, Heavy Duties all around, factory sway bars, 205/55 - 225/50 SO3s on 7x15 cookies, lowered and based on how well it handles, is corner-balanced by luck. Car goes through corners wonderfully, the SO3s stick like glue, but I'm getting more body roll through long sweepers than I would like -- 225s are riding up into the flare and rubbing. Ride is pretty darn comfortable both around town and day trips to NYC. Should I go up in torsion bars? or beefier sway bars? if torsion bars, what are some good combinations, especially against a future motor upgrade. Would love to take the Webers off my little 2.0 and stick them on a 3.0 with the exchangers and an M&K muffler, or go with a 3.2. Thoughts?

Before i decided to change the torsion bars on my 89 Carrera ,i spoke with Chuck at ER and he suggested going with 22/29 because the G50 cars are heavier at the rear.
This would be for a street setup and since you're already thinking of going with a 3.2 in the future,this might be a good start ... Cheers ! Phil

I'm doing 22/29 for a street setup on my '72 w/ a 3.6L. I haven't decided on sway bars yet. I'll probably go with tarret's so that I can adjust the balance.
