First thing in the spring, right after installing my 968 RST wing, I will be lowering my rear end with the eccentric's....with some new 250 lb front springs. I haven't decided about new struts though..I remember there was an article in Excellence a while back on this procedure..it was done to that white 944..I willl dig up the article from my library of Porsche magazines...

I'm surprised lowering the rear end with the eccentrics isn't the first
thing all the 24/44 guys do!

Wheaton is a western suburb, between Oakbrook and Naperville.

I'm just waiting until I have the necessary fundage to buy the front springs and KLA rear shocks before I do that. I mean, hell, I can do it now, but since I'm saving up to go back to school, my priorities are a bit different...

The procedure in Excellence done to white 944 was to fit the Koni Sport 8641-1414S cut-n-drill struts into late model sealed units. You have an early model with rebuildable/user-replaceable strut inserts - simple gland nut style.

The Koni Sport appliation for your early car is 8641-1038S.

You can find instructions for that type on our tech site:

Good Luck!

Skip what would you recommend for the front end of my early 944 in order to lower it no more than 1 inch, without sacrificing stock ride feel...If you have some ideas or some products available PM me the info...


Thank you

I think once you go past dropped springs, I think you have to go with
dropped spindles, don't ya?
