Well after searching more on the torsion bars. I'm thinking going full coilovers and ditch the torsion bars. I've installed coilovers on hondas before. Is it a lot harder on the 944? And I read the torsion bars are a b!tch to take off. Worst case I'll take the car in to get it done I guess. What do u guys think about the Koni coilover kit from paragon? For $1400 it's a bit more then I wanted to pay but I hate going cheaper and then wishing I got the better product afterwards. Also for a pretty stiff ride with barely any body roll and no squat what spring rates u guys suggest front and rear?

I don't like koni they don't have the valving and the street is harsher. So they won't last long between rebuilds. I've run bilstein for rears and have never had an issue blowing them out and I used to run my car slammed as a daily

I've got the Koni kit from paragon. It is harsh, but not miserable.

Ya the blisten coils cost $600 more. I don't mind a harsh ride, I'm still pretty young lol. How long would the koni's last?
