suspension upgrade recommendations

Well did the Mid-Ohio PCA event last weekend. What a blast of a track! The car ran great and F-A-S-T. I was shocked at it's ability to keep up with and pass 993's and even a few older Turbos.

My problem is with the standard suspension. Most all of the higher speed corners, both right and left, put me on three wheels with a ton of body roll. On top of that, I broke the rear sway bar mount.

Given that that needs to be repaired I would like to upgrade to a larger sway bar and do the torsion bars at the same time. the car will be primarily used for track events with limited, but some street driving. Not ready to make it a race car just yet.

What do you DEers and Racers recommend as a good set up? Sizes for torsion and sway bars? Other things to consider?

Thanks in advance. Road America is over Memorial Day, so I don't have a ton of time.

I should add that this is for the '74.

I was there too, 89 911 (red) in B group.

I run 23f 29rear T bars, stock anti roll bars with updated mounts in rear (ask me why) and Bilstein sport shocks, re-valved by bilstein to match my T bars. Roll is DRASTICALLY reduced from when susp. was stock, but I still think I will soon go to aftermarket anti roll bars. Car is VERY firm, but still streetable, even with the extremely crappy roads in upstate NY.
