Yes you have to re index the KWs and this is a bit time consuming, but again, I think worth the time and the money to do so.

I don't disagree with Van's sentiments either. Just depends on what you want for your car.

I just read the torsion bar adjustment procedure, and it appears that it only needs to be trial and error if you can't do the math right. is this so? especially since I already have a reference point - I just want it to stay the same height. lol.

I have seen the spax suspension, but have never heard anything previously about them, as to reviews or benefits.. maybe it is something worth looking into, or maybe its just a cheap wanabe.

Il gues so, but I would like to hear from someone that have tried it on a 944. The koni set is $600 and spax is around $500 with lowering springs :/ So I gues its just about the same as the OEM with lower springs and adjustments to it ?
I wan't good road grip and still be able to go to a track day once a year if I want to. Norway trackdays sucks
