The 030 upgrade was to add a coilspring to the rear damper in addition to the torsion bar to increase the wheel rate. I see that spring (anyone know the rate?) as a light helper spring on the rear of a front engined car. My concern is in discarding the torsion bar and fully relying on a coilover spring that needs to be around 500 lb/in. The forces in compression will then go into the mounts that were not designed for anything near the 1000lb loads that could be experienced.
