Coil-over springs will cost more to convert the car, then you will need to reinforce the chassis for the new load path. That is at the very least.

Coil-overs have their greatest benefit in the rear, where you get easier ride height adjustment and you can run the 935 style spring plate and raise the trailing arm mounts for better kinematics- roll center and such.

In the front, the coils can limit tire width depending on backspacing and fender clearance. The front torsion bars are easy to index and only serious race cars need stiffer springs than a torsion bar can provide.

If you want coil-overs, go all-out in the rear with 935 style suspension, raised pivots, and reinforced damper (now spring) mounts and leave the front torsion bars.

so putting coil overs in the rear with my current stock spring plate will basically bring no benefit only being able to adjust the ride height easier?

i was goin to go with torsion upgrade all around until i came across a set of used rears for a gd price, soooooooo

thanks for the advice
