That torsion bar arrangement is more advanced than your current torsion beam setup! |
but my torsion beam means i can go round corners faster without cocking a leg, the back end kicking out or any roll! i can also have different set up in spring and dampering rates, although the Cup setup doesnt need changing |
See you at blyton on the 29th, i'll happily show you the backend of a torsion bar.....

Read the tyre test.
New / tyres with the most tread should ALWAYS be fitted to the REAR axle  |
(so your tyres last longer and make the company look good )
I would always have them on the front, would rather loose the back end then have no steering,breaking
And its all down to budget I would say yoko S drive for money, grip and life

You need the best grip on the REAR axle not the front

I always put new on the front, as I've been through two and half sets of tyres on the front to one set on the rear
I always get Parada Spec 2's, I think they are fine in the wet, and the tread pattern is cool

I think the idea is you take the part worn rears, fit them at the front then put the new ones on the rear.

Yeah I know, but might as well just put the new ones on the front rather than messing around all the time and paying to have tyres swapped.

Parada's are sh*t in any condition, very soft sideways and no grip no matter what car so please rule those out, For a budget option the Falken 912's are very good or the 532, you;ve got to go a long way up the chain to get anything better

No, because if you have kerbing on one wheel (usually the passengers front), you don't wanna risk kerbing every wheel
I love spec 2's, never had a problem with them except the snow but not many tyres are good in that weather!
