Chris,

I have 22/28's hollow T-bars. Bilstein HD's in the front, Sports in the rear. This setup was suggested by Steve Weiner as a good 80/20 street/track combo. Remember, the shock valving needs to be matched to the springs (t-bars) and Steve said that the HD and Sports in this combo are pretty much a perfect match for their respective t-bars. Still need to source some 86 Carrera rear sway bars as they are a little bigger and will fit around my 915.

Other items:

Front:

TT Rod Kit w/ the cheap bump steer kit
New Street hardness poly A-arm bushings (fitted grease nipple)
New Ball Joints
New sway bar bushings
Clean and regrease the steering rack

Rear:

New Neatrix spring plate bushings
New rear Banana arm bushings
New sway bar bushings

If I were to do it again, I'd probably look a little bit harder at the adjustable Koni's, as you can 'dial' them in softer/street, stiffer/track.

Don't ask how I like this setup though......
