Guys guys guys...

1. There shouldn't be a debate about whether or not I am a crappy driver because clearly I am!
2. I was just trying to give some advice since the original TB's are NLA and not everyone is happy to use used TB's because, in most cases, they are also 25 years old. With this advice I wanted to show, with a video, that my car stays pretty level in the curves with my current setup while it's still quite comfortable as a street car.
3. If I wanted to show off how badly I drive, I'd start a new thread. They are for free you know .
4. I'm really sorry!

I'd actually think that a 21/26 combo would result in understeer, it seems to be a bit stiffer on the front relative to the rear.

Yeah. The best mildly sporting setup I ever ran on my final SC was 19/26 on the t-bars, a 3.2 rear bar, Bilstein sports (we were still too clueless to have them revalved), 944 Turbo 8's on the front, 9's rear, 225/245 tires, and a 7/31 R&P with a limited slip hooked up to a Euro 3.0 w/ 98mm pistons making is passably CA smog legal.

Default torsion bar l / r

remember original question concearning left vs right torsion bars . Left is left because it is designed to support left suspension / "twist" . Right T bar is manufactured / designed to support right suspension "twist" Look for the L / R stamp on ends to confirm. MJ

Correct, they are pre-stressed for left or right. So I have read on the interwebs
