Now for the facts:

Setup (911 SC Coupe):

- 21mm front torsion bars
- 26mm rear Turbo torsion bars
Tuthills (builders of 911 rally and track 911s here in UK) installed 27mm rear TBs in my SC while retaining std 19mm fronts, which should give quite a different balance to yours. Plenty of forum advice suggests this will promote oversteer, but their advice is based on many years experience and I'm very happy with the result on road and track. I don't think I'd want it stiffer for rough Euro roads.

Funny you should mention running with Lotus on track. Here's a video from a trackday at Goodwood earlier this year
