I've been trying to figure out an ideal R to F ratio between 0.6 to 0.7 while keeping the TB's and not having to re-index and/or use helper springs.

Hey Kinglenario. I have been thinking of doing something to my 1989 Turbo, suspension Because the guy I bought it from has it so stiff my wife won't ride with me on the mountain roads here in North Carolina. According to the previous owner it has Koni Struts with 300 lb Hpercoils. My question is can I just get softer springs? And if so what would you recommend For a softer ride and not too much concern about rool. THanks Gordy

Yeah, I was looking into the Gaz as an option as well as Koni's and a couple of other things for the kit. The thing about the kit I'm putting together is to utilize a more modern dual rate spring setup. So you can have a very aggressive spring without the compromise of a bad ride. Street cars actually handle and grip better when they are more compliant on rough road surfaces.
Also having a great performing setup that doesn't break the bank and bolts up without having to mess with the torsion bars is attractive. It seems there are a lot of nice race setups out there that work well but are really pricey and too stiff for street use.
Anyway, I should have more information soon and will let people know. I may put a couple sets together and do some real world testing and testimonials with some of the great 951 guys here in Atlanta and get some opinions and fine tuning done!

Kinglenario.
Any updates on this "kit" your are working on?
I'm looking to update this off season (previously sold on the Koni insert set-up) and might be interested.
Thanks
