Post suspenson upgrades?

What suspension upgrades are available to my 1970 911. Cost? Availability?

My intentions with the car are to start autocrossing/DE with the hope of learning to drive it properly. Just looking for a simple upgrade, nothing fancy. Thanks Mike

25mm or 26mm torsion bars in back. And confirm that you have antiswaybars.

Once you start down that path to the dark side, there's no turning back! LOL! You might want to check out the suspension upgrade articles on tech.rennlist.com - I don't know if there are any that directly address earlier upgrades, however, you'll get an idea about the options. Torsion bars are one place to start, however, shocks will probably follow shortly thereafter (springs and shocks really should match each other and optimally be done together, although they can be staggered). Adjustable sway bars make a difference in giving you the ability to tune your suspension towards neutral handling.
