This...my car is night and day better with the NA Tune MAF

Coilovers!!... Maybe a bit harsh for everyday driving. 450# front. 650# rear w/ torsion bar delete.

This! I just deleted my torsion bars yesterday...I'm running 400 rear at the moment. I still need to do the front with coilovers, I'll be going 500F 600R. It's a weekend car so I can run on the stiff side

I have ZERO suspension travel in the front. You hit a penny in the road and it feels like you've been swallowed by a man hole. I track my car so if you don't plan on auto cross/ track I would seriously reconsider how heavy of springs you choose to sport.

Although I couldn't be more happy when my rear torsion bars came up missing. Ride height adjustability is amazing without all the reindexing (over complicated math problem) bologna.

Thanks for the insight. I plan on attending autox/ track events on the regular, but still will drive my car on the street (only during the weekends) and to the events. I did run torsion bars with my coilovers for a short while and the rear was incredibly stiff but it was something I didn't mind. Would you recommend I go 500R 400F as a slight compromise? I also have a 20mm rear sway and a hollow 25.5 up front, I'm going bigger in the front as soon as a good deal pops up on a 30mm bar...I get some crazy oversteer as it is!

You know, no one has mentioned it, but how about working a/c. Sure it is nice to delete the complexity, free up some room in the engine bay, and reduce some weight, but nothing improves the driving experience more than being comfortable while driving. Sitting on the highway in stop and go with no a/c will take the fun out of driving a classic sports car quicker than you think. I actually enjoy driving the car more often, instead of looking at it in the garage, and saying "naw its tooo hot, I'll drive my other car"

I think the same thing too! Sounds like a good idea at first, but it's sure nice to have all the functions of a car working. I don't about the rest of you, but nothing annoys me more than turning on a switch or turn a **** and it doesn't work.

Now, I'm in the process of deleting my power steering. I'm sure it's already been mentioned, but something probably not missed, especially for me, since I live out in the country. Not like I'm gonna be parallel parking.

Sounds like you are doing what 90+% of drivers do. They set up their mirrors wrong.

If you can see any part of the side of your car with your side mirrors, you're doing it wrong.

Look at the field of view of your inside mirror. The outside edge of that field of view should be the inside edge of the field of view of your side mirrors. The field of view of your inside and outside mirrors should overlap just a tiny bit.

Power steering and a/c is for girls.

So are 4 cylinder engines

Sorry I had to, just pulling your chain.

Come spend a couple days driving around in 118F/48C heat and tell me AC is for girls.

It all depends on what type of coilover you have. Like I said my front suspension droop/travel is next to none. So that has a huge impact on ride quality. The back with 650# is comfortable. I have stock sway bars to help with under steer. Street cars are suppose to be softer spring and big sway bars so you have good ride quality and great handling. Race cars are suppose to have heavy springs and smaller sway bars to help deal with wheel lift. f450/r650 springs are considered a mediums-stiff

Working a/c? What's that?!

you're probably right, but for a long time i tried to align the mirrors in the manner suggested, but honestly, the passenger flag mirror...i can't see %&*t with it no matter where it goes. DS mirror works fine but something about my seating position or my mirror or the swamp gas reflecting the light of venus makes that other one useless.
