Is this a good 951 street set up?

Hey Guys, I am trying to plan out a good sporty street suspension for the 951. The car is used on the street 90% of the time with some time trials and maybe an autocross or two. Mostly used for fun weekend jaunts around the back country roads:


Koni Sport Yellows all around
220# front progressive rate springs (Weltmeister)
Stock torsion bars (I do have the Turbo S bars if needed)
Stock Swaybars (maybe upgarde?)
17" cup 2s

Let me know if you guys have any suggestions.

Thanks for the help.

I run 250 up front and konis all around like yourself on the turbo......

....everything set to stiff........It is great when you are driving flat out......... but my NA with stock suspension was much smoother to drive around town.

You get used to the stiffer setup.... so as long as you having nothing else to compare it to.........

As time goes by the 250 will seem soft..........

I was thinking that the 220# would make life around town a little easier. The effective rate of the 220# springs is almost a perfect match for the stock rear bars. I believe the 250# might be too much for the stock bars.
