Real men run 400lb springs on their street cars.

Rear suspension is stock minus Bilstein shocks, front has Bilsteins and a brand of coilovers called A-1 Racing (never seen them anywhere else) which i got on ebay off a 951 track car. I think they are 300lbs springs but not positive.

If anyone is running A-1 Racing coilovers let me know, I dont know much about them but I'd like to. All I can say is they are great!

Anymore lowered 924S's out there. I am looking into redoing the suspension on the 924 over christmas break. New shocks struts, and some bigger stock sway bars.

Are you certain they aren't QA-1?

No idea what's on the front, but the Bilstein HD struts are stiff. The bumper sits 1.25" lower than a stock 944. I should do the eccentric adjustment in back to fix it...

Track car?

I imagine you'd break all kinds of engine mounts and oil pickups by driving that down a bad road.
