IRS Suspension setup thoughts

Okay, in further investigation I am kind of rethinking my "ideal" suspension setup. Please let me know what you all think.

Front:
- KYB GR-2 shocks
- Stock torsion bars
- 3/4" sway bar
- Dropped spindles
- 944 brakes

Rear:
- KYB GR-2 shocks
- 28mm torsion bars
- 3/4" sway bar
- 944 rear arms and brakes

All urethane bushings where it is possible.

The big change is really the 28mm rear bars. Seems like a lot of people have been happy with them on the track.

Also the GR-2 shocks all around. Seems a bit soft, but the suspension should be doing the work, not the shocks beating you to death. I could be wrong here...

Thanks,
