The other thing to note is that unless you do replace the torsion bars you're looking at re-using 30 year old bars. Even the Porsches are now 15 odd years old at least. I don't think Porsche were really that bothered about their cars when they reach that age.
So that's a lot of wear they've got on them, and for the price of a proper coilover conversion suddenly you're into more predictable territory and to me it all made sense.
I'm not building a racer but I want my car to handle right. My eventual plan is to get it on a trackday and spend the time setting it up, which will be a lot easier with coilovers.

Yeah But I wouldnt do a straigt coil over conversion without reienfocing the shock mount back to the frame. More on that later though when I have a diagram finished.
