Default Need advice on supension

I probably should have posted here in the first place, but I was a newbie and decided to intorduce myself there. Anyway I have a 1980 911SC which sags at the right rear bumper about 3/4". I tried adusting the front height adustment to affect a diagonal correction which did not work andcouldn't get to the rear soI ordered a wrench to tackle the 36mm ecentric. Before I go to the trouble and expense of tackling the torsion bars, I wanted to see what advice others might have about converting to some other form of adjustable rear suspension, either coil overs or ?.

Newbie and still having fun. Thanks,

Mike48

I am doing a coilover conversion as we speak (or type).....

Im doing a RSR Coilover spec. Its almost finished so should be able to tell more soon.

I also added an RSR spring plat to the back to make toe easier and independent of camber.

hi Mike

I went with the original bilstein with RSR valving and springs. I made one slight change and included helper springs all round.

They are on the car but Im not quite finished, so cant tell yuo about ride quality or geometry settings etc. But Im nearly there (circa a week)

Pete
