Will 951 torsion bars fit in an early 944?

We are replacing them because the originals are "tweaked", probably from being overloaded......and a fellow member is being so gracious as to give the 951 ones to me.

You can put in 250lbs front springs big front sway bar and no rear bar (or small one). Make sure the rear is really low (maybe a bit *** down) and it should be fine.

Haven't autox'd it yet so I'm not sure how it handles. Good on the street. But you can only tell so much on the street..

Did a quick look-up on Paragon. Seems there's two 30mm t-bars. Solid and hollow. Sine the hollow one is a higher price, I'm guessing that is the more desirable one? Any one try both? Handling differences between the two, or is it just the weight to keep the car lighter?
