Hi,

I can not answer a few of your questions because my car is still in the project stage. The main reason for me to go to coilover was for the height adjustability in the back. I was told that they were mainly developed for the Käfer Cup series in Germany.

Once using coilovers you do not need the torsion bars. I do not not know yet how they are while driving but I was told that it is the way to go. I will have to let you know in a year or so on this one.

I believe you want some of that squat in the back when you launch hard to get more weight and therefor better traction. But that would be more for drag racing I guess. That would be the same reason on not using low profile tires....the tire can not work as much and therefor start spinning quicker off the line.
Again.....this are just my thoughts.....I could be totally wrong.

My pan is IRS.......converted a swing axle pan to IRS because I could not find an IRS pan at that time.

Hope that helps a bit,
Alex
