All right guys it's time to sink a little money in to my track car (just a fun weekend autocross car nothing to big). Currently my car has stock boge shock that are need of replacement. My track car is a 1987 944 Turbo, and was thinking of adding Adjustable Koni's, and #300 springs. I currently only have enough cash to purchase just the shocks and springs, however I would like to get bigger sway bars for the front and rear, as I hate it when the car leans so much in the turns. What kind of sway bars do you porsche guy's recommend? I would like virtually no body role in a tight corner(is that possible without out rageous spring rates?)! Thanks for input.

Wouldn't we all

To counter the body roll, you've got to do both... but, you need some of that roll if you're autocrossing competitively. The car is not light enough to be treated like a go-kart (adhesion > weight ratio). The 300# springs will do great in autocross... but, now you're in a higher class in an otherwise stock car (depending on club) Some allow mods from other model years... then you could use the M030 stuff... great for autocross.

Most rules allow the swap of sway bars freely... so you've got many options:
- 968 M030 bars (r adjustable)
- Welt Solid bars (f&r adjustable)
- NEW Hollow bars (f&r adjustable, lower weight = better transfer)

For zero body roll in the corners you'd have to do the math... but roughly you're looking at 800#s effective per corner. Yahooey, that'd be stiff, eh?

Good Luck!

Slightly off topic, but today I finally succeeded in adjusting the rear ride height. Test drive produced noticeable front suspension pitch when braking.
Should I consider cutting the front springs or should I replace the whole assembly. If so will adjustable Koni's I have on my 87-944 fit the 88-951?

Thanks a lot for the info.

Please do not cut your springs.

Assuming the 88 951 is not an S(?) then the 87 944 Koni's will fit. They will help with reducing the dive a bit... for more help, you might consider moving up the spring rate to 250#.

Good Luck!
