like the title says i have a factory 86 930's euro slantnose. i am looking to upgrade the suspension. can anyone please point me in the right direction? a local shop quoted me a little less than $2000 just to replace the shocks with something a little more agressive. thoughts? this will be a weekend driver however i would like to get something that would be ideal for a few DE's

on the $2K, is that with all new shocks and larger torsion bars? If only shocks and then alignment and corner balance that seems a bit high in my opinion. . .I have a 1983 930 with Bilstein Sports all around with 22MM/28MM torsion bars and a strut brace, car is for weekends with about 3-4 DE days a year, works fine for me but think for more track time you probably want to go with bigger torsoin bars and for sure need good rubber in these 930's, they are a handful at speed with street rubber! Good luck

i am pretty sure that was just bilsteins and an alignment. i thought it was a little expensive also. i will find out about the bars and will get back to you. i also do not have stock wheels/rubber on this car anymore. thanks again for the help!

If your in Colorado I might be able to help.

I am currently working with Clint at Rebel Racing http://www.rebelracingproducts.com/index.html on a set up for my 930. Full coil-over set... probably end up as a winter project.

DWalker, I am in CO, you have me interested....

Thats what I have and it really makes life easier. I can change the height on all four corners in about twenty minutes. It also allows different stiffness for different occasions. I have both torsion bars removed but some leave them in place. Don't know why. You might hear a little more noise from them on bumps and hard slow speed turns but with some rubber hose and a little work you can quieten them down.

I pulled the t-bars and went with coilovers all around. I like the setup.

A great improvement that I'm enjoying is Elephant's Adjustable Spring Plate. No affiliation, just a happy customer. Check it out:

This setup along with adjustable sway bars (with reinforced mounts), appropriately valved Bilsteins and larger torsion bars (sized to suit your compromise between butt on the street and the track ;-), bump steer kit (assuming your car is lowered), monoball front strut-top & tower x-bar makes for a much better balanced and handling 930. Oh and yes a proper alignment with corner balancing (although again this'll be another compromise as the best negative camber for track will cost you tire life & comfort on the street). I may end up adding helper springs in the future to better handle torque squat that's overpowering my 33mm torsion bars (thereby causing some tire rub), but hopefully I can fine tune settings to prevent this from being needed.

Yep, I am also looking at 935 spring plates from Rebel Racing, some Elephant Polybronze bushings in the front and monoballs...Will be a little stiff, but will give me what I want for both street and track/DE's.
