I'm getting my 1968 Camaro together for some track days at Circuit of the Americas.

Here is what I've got for the suspension so far:
- Eibach front springs 500 lbs/inch
- Stock 5 leaf rear springs out of who knows what that have had a leaf removed to make them 4 leaf.
- Stock 1968 Camaro front roll bar
- No rear roll bar
- Blisten B6 shocks all around
- BF Goodrich Radial T/A 255/60R15 in rear and 235's in the front

I know the rear spring rate is a bit of a wild card but they feel good to me. The original mono-leafs were really sagging. I picked them up off of Craigslist and they were really stiff and sat high with all 5 leaves. Then I removed the bottom leaf and it felt much better and sat lower.

I'm debating on whether or not to change the front sway bar to a 1" solid bar. I've been reading Pozzi's notes on this and I think I should do it but I don't want to put the car into understeer too much. I really don't want get into needing a rear sway bar to balance things out.

So I'm not sure if upgrading just the front to a 1" solid bar would be an overall improvement or not.

Thoughts?


Thanks,
