Hi all,
I have searched and read up alot on this topic, but I am soliciting additional advice and information. I have a 1992 968 which I am getting ready to build as a dual use street / DE car. I instruct with the PCA at approximately 6-8 DE's per year.
This is primarily a DE car with the intent of using it about 2 day per week on the street. This will not be a dedicated 100% track car, and I definitly don't mind a stiff ride, but I don wan't to have a degree of streetability. I am leaning more towards a track setup than a street set up if that makes sense.
I used to have a 993 that I had Pss9's on, it was my everday driver and I kept them adjusted to almost full hard and was OK with it. I live in Atlanta GA, so the roads aren't horrible.
I am currently thinking that I will retain my rear torsion bars and go with M030 sway bars. I am currently considering the following
- Bilstein Escort Cup: I have heard differing opions on the streetability of these. Some say they are acceptable, some say track only. What kind of spring rates would be good for a dual use car, and what are the thoughts of the Lindsey Racking street valving vs. track valving.
- Bilstein Firehawks: How do these compare with the Escorts?
- Koni Adjustable Yellows:
- Any other options I am missing out on? I don't want to spend more than the Escort cups so options such as Motons etc are out. Not sure about pricing on Leda's for my application.
Thanks and all input is appreciated.
Jim
