I deleted my torsion bars. Haven't had any problems. The hardware they send with the kit is pretty beefy.

I found my front m030 setup on the classifieds here for a good price. They came with 425lb springs so I ordered a heavier variety for the rear to stick with the cars stock oversteer nature. I seem to recall a difference of 120lbs or the equivalent anyways between stock front springs and the rear torsion bars. Basically I wanted my car to handle like stock except...better? I don't know how to explain it really. I honestly don't know much about suspension.

As far as externally adjustable goes... My car is a DD. Someday it may be used for a few DE's or autocross though. How often does your average 951 owner go to the track? Being able to make on-the-fly suspension adjustments just seems pointless to me; and i would consider myself the average 951 owner. Sure it seems handy but from experience, having my suspension on anything but full soft? Makes me want to kill myself. Sure it'd be useful for the 1-2 track days out of the year. It's not like they're that hard to adjust.

Basically I can't imagine the average 951 owner getting much use out of externally adjustable rears. In the year and a half or so Ive had my setup it's been changed once.

And I admit that my car is a pointless DD. Somewhere between 300-400whp, above suspension setup, and a heavy 6 puck clutch.
