I've got 400lb springs with coilovers in the front. That's balanced against 30mm torsion bars in the rear.
Yes - it's pretty stiff, but you can still drive it on the street. I drove it to Mid-Ohio one year.......

As has been said before, torsion bars are a PITA. It took me 4 tries to get it right. By tries, that means
I had to drop the rear suspension unit and re-index the bars 4 times to get the ride height I wanted. Then
I used the eccentric bolt to make the final adjustments during corner balancing.

If you want that part to be easier, coilovers in the rear make setting the ride height 1000 times easier
and the stock bars weigh less. However, the extra weight of the 30mm bars is close to the bottom of the
car so the overall effect of the weight gain is minimized. Also - I'm kind of hard headed, so the more I heard people
complain about how hard it was to do T-bars, part of me just wanted to see if I could do it.

Don't forget sway bars. Make sure that you "match" them up too. I have a 30 mm up front (from a Turbo S)
and an 18mm adjustable in the rear. In hard cornering, these really help quite a bit.

New bushings really help as well. There are many choices out there that are far better than stock. Check out Elephant Racing....

In the end, my car can corner significantly better than it did when in "stock" condition, but at the same
time, it's nicely balanced and neutral - which is what I was going for. Street comfort was not a real factor,
but then it was never intended to be a daily driver.
