how stiff can you go with stock torsion bars?? I was told 200 should be ok with a stiff rear sway bar.

What year 951?

Many folks up the front to 250# while leaving the t-bars alone - though, it does work better on a car equipped with the 25.5mm bars as stock (88/89 TurboS). Still want to up the rear stabilizer to 19mm or better.

Good Luck!
