Post how's this setup sound?

ok, here's my new suspension/tire plan, what do you guys think?

86 951:
4 new tires, thinking Kumho Excta (or whatever) MX 225/45/17 in front, 245/40/17 in back(replacing my incorrectly sized 245/45/17 all around)

4 Koni Yellow shocks, replacing stock (original?) shocks

Weltmeister 250# front springs, w/ spacers to eliminate lowering effect (again, replacing stock).

Think this is a good street plan? i don't know about doing rear torsion bars yet, will my handling be overly screwy with much stiffer front springs? car has stock sways for the 951, i think that's 22.5 in front and 14 in back? what i'm going for is a slightly stiffer ride while still being overwhelmingly a steet car (in boston, land of man eating potholes)

Sounds good, except maybe think of 200# front springs if you plan on keeping the stock sways and torsion bars.

Your stock sways could be 24mm front and 18mm rear - to be sure, measure with a vernier caliper.

Good Luck!
