Question to Steve W and all suspension gurus:
What gives the best overall handling (road and track)?
With the KW V3's nearly unlimited adjustability, and limited (if any) adjustability on the torsion bars, and with adjustable sway bars, would a soft torsion bar set up give the best handling? Softer suspension absorbs bumps better, making better tire contact and less upset movement of the car.
Will a soft suspension set up in combination with a stiffer shocks and sway bar settings, be a smart move? Would a stiffer shock and sway bar set up compensate for the softer torsion bar set up on track and aggressive driving?
What is the ideal correlation between spring rates (torsion bars or coil overs) and the shocks compression and rebound rates?
And for limiting body roll, what would the best set up be, spring rates or sway bars?
My point here is that the spring rates (stiffness) on T-bars and coil springs are typically not adjustable, and shocks and sway bars are.
Anyone...???
