Hello-

Be careful... you may seriously screw up the handling of your car!

The torsionbar/springplate/rubberbushing/etc. setup has two functions in the suspension:
- provide springing
- maintain toe

Obviously, the first one isn't *that* much of an issue - the whole point of the coil-overs is to take over this.

But, be VERY careful when addressing the second one. Otherwise, your handling will really, really suck. Long-story short: you'll have a lot of passive rear-wheel steering and turns will become no fun :-(. You take the weak points of a semi-trailing arm rear suspension and amplify them...

Take care,
