Hey Let's Talk Suspension
I always find such great info and interest on brakes and HP...but not as much suspension...
I hear snippets here and there torsion bar sizes raised spindles RSR strut inserts Bilstein Sport shocks Adj swing plates 935 swing plates Sway-a-way swing plates 930 trailing arms SC trailing arms mono-ball something or other full coil over conversion only rear coil over conversion need a roolcage... new bushings strut bar stich weld the front trunk seams antiroll bars charlie bars strengthen anti-roll bar mounts Most of the stuff above I do not know their advantages and what they do... I guess what I am looking for is a set up for an early car with a 250hp engine... I don't think I am ready for full coilover...I think I will stick with torsion.... track 20% street 80% (could be 30-70) working out a 3.4-3.5L MFI 2xplug formula with some engine builders...930 brakes...lt wt interior Last edited by 82SC; 06-14-2002 at 03:31 PM.. |

Firstly, how do you intend to use the car?

The tire size you end up with will also be a factor. Here's what I would suggest for an SC/RS flared early car with 250 HP that is 80% street and not bound by any rulebook:
Bilstein HD Front / Sport Rear 19/26 Hollow Torsion Charlie or TRG Sway Bars 22/22 with reinforced mounts SC spring plates with Neatrix bushings Rubber bushings elsewhere SC (Aluminum) trailing arms Reinforced suspension pick up points Front strut bar without monoballs Quaife LSD This would not be too stiff or noisy for the street but capable of keeping up with the engine (as long as you roll on the throttle!).

Having little to no knowlege in this area, what would be the extreme suspension build up?* If you had the bank to let fabcar build it. What would it be?* No classification limits.* Let's not include some type of F1 active but something real that could be hung off a 911 shell or a tube frame that carries a 911 shell.*
