Default 944 Rear Coil-over's

Since Leda has gone out of biz(they may come back), any suggestions for a good replacement for rear coil-over conv? My current setup is Koni's sports upfront with 450lb springs and was shooting for rear Leda's with 150lb, for a stiff street and good DE setup. I would like the outlay to a minimum, <$1200. The Leda's were about $1000. Since the rear torsion bar needs to re-indexed what's the cons on just going with a stiffer bar?

get the koni coilovers from paragon- rear torsions work fine larger but are not as easily adjustable when you want to corner balance or just adjust your ride height.

The koni coil over's cost roughly $1100. I spoke to skip at paragon on this just last week.

And the rear Koni shocks have to be removed to adjust them and they are single action. TB isn't a bad option, need a 30mm or 31mm TB to match your front spring rate so you will be at the upper limit of what is available off-the shelf.

Torsion bars are very effective springs -- just not as adjustible after the fact.

Has anyone looked at Bilstein. There's isn't adjustable but you can get the rears as coil overs.
