Hi,

I have to get rid of my FD, and I was thinking of picking up a vert so I can still drive a rotary. I know that the verts are heavier because of the added structural support, but does that affect the weight distribution? Also, can I put a rear strut bar on the verts? Do they come with front and rear sway bars?

Nimisys

they have front and rear sway bars

don't know about rear strut bar as they are pretty well boxed structurly aorund those rear towers

most likely 48:52 or so because of top motors and what not

I'm not sure... but it feels better balanced than my old '90 GTU did.

Don't have numbers, but I would agree with the two above posts

Great. Thanks guys. Now I just have to figure out how to get a rear strut bar on there. Do you guys think a roll bar will add too much weight?

Motor Trend article from 8/89 listed '89 vert as 3003 lbs with 52/48 f/r distribution, '89 Turbo II as 2850 lbs with a 51/49 f/r distribution

I don't think you would need a upper rear strut bar on a vert, as the metal of the rear deck supports much higher than it would on the coupes.

In addition that integrated roll bar in the top, stiffens the body much better than any strut bar could.
