Post Lowering the rear

Does anyone know of a place that sells after market torsion bars for the rear suspension? I'd like to lower the rear about 2"
I've got an early '85 944
Thanks!
Anyone done this with any success?

Paragon Products, but you don't need aftermarket torsion bars to lower the rear. You only need to re-index the ones you have. All About 944 Suspension

why, to restore factory-designed ride height and restore handling and braking in one fell swoop, of course...

To bring the back end down to the original Euro height. When they brought it to North America, they raised the back (for bumber height regulations), but not the front. So their is a steeper rake than the car was designed for.
