What to do next?

I have a quandary. Having now got the suspension under something like control from the point of it no longer arbitrarily choosing to ricochet about like a rubber ball, I am now giving consideration to reducing the actual movement under dynamic loading. There's a couple of ways of doing this. First and most obvious to the uninitiated is to fit huge wheels and low profile tyres. This is not cheap with the rims and tyres coming in at significantly more than 250 pounds a corner. The benefit of this is it will look cool, improve turn in feel and braking stability. The disadvantages, it's abundantly clear that the car has been played with, the nvh transfer of low profile tyres is significant and it doesn't stop the body moving under weight transfer. The second option is harder springs. These are less than a fifth of the price for a set, and are totally stealthy. The advantage is less body movement which will have a benefit in turn in but nothing like the low profile tyres, flatter cornering, more efficient weight transfer for braking. Disadvantages there is a limit on how much ride quality having the majority of the compliance in just the tyre sidewall will give, the springs in question are not a direct fit and will need to modified to gain the correct ride height further stiffening them, having stiff suspension and relatively tall tyre sidewall profiles can induce uncontrollable bouncing under braking like a tractor.

Yes I know that the answer is to buy a 911 turbo and just drive it but I can't. Built not bought.

I used to be indecisive but now I'm not sure.

What about a stiffer/bigger torsion bar? Or even torsion bar at the back. That should be relatively cheap and easy to do.

I've made mine a "quick disconnect" and since it has a sleeve for cca 15cm of its lenght, it is now notecabely stiffer.

I keep an eye open for a diesel sway bar but the last one i found would have been nearly 160 pounds with shipping from France!

Why not make your own?

Heat Treating SHOULD be fairly cheap and rest you can do yourself.

Hi Lambert, I've just fitted new standard height KYB springs with superpro 15mm seats and there is very little true body roll.

You can feel it crank over as it lays the sidewall down when you turn in late but generally the sidewall flex is nice and predictable.

Before changing the ARB, try adjustable drop links and poly bush mounts, might save a few bob...

I've been struggling with the same problem as regards tyres, trying to get a 16 with a similar rolling circumference, 225/60 x 16 is what I've decided on, it's slightly smaller than the 215/75 I'm running now but slightly bigger than standard. These will be tarmac tyres so will have a significantly stiffer sidewall and hopefully, will nail the handling.
