What suspension does your car have on it? Original Koni double adjustables, 8742 fronts and 8242 rears, with the Cup progressive springs, or has it been updated over the years?
Bilstein fronts and Koni Rears, and front what I understand is pretty typical. I updated the front perches, camber plates and springs, but have the original parts. Fronts were rebuilt a while back, rears will be rebuilt this winter.
I still have the ping pong ***** in the gas tank. You can hear them rattling around.
Yes this one raced in the '93 season driven by Charles Coker and Dave White. It's one of the 8 'race ready' 944S brought in by Holbert Porsche and several were bought by Akin-White Racing in '88. Dave White converted it to an S2 for Charles and raced the '93 season. Its never been titled and I still have the MSO from Holbert Porsche. I bought it from Charles Coker about 3 years ago. Some good footage of it here:

Did Firehawk cars have log books like SCCA or NASA cars have? My car is supposed to be ex-Firehawk and SCCA Escort, I have the SCCA log book but nothing from IMSA.
Yes, that is a sister car to mine. My vin number is 170 and that one is 171. I think Dave White and Bob Akin originally bought them for their racing school originally because they started as a 944S and they converted them to S2's to race Firehawk. As you can see in that YouTube video he did in fact race mine, not sure about the other one. I have log books for SCCA, NASA, PCA, and HSR but none for IMSA. I does however have the IMSA inspection stickers on the cage.

Original fronts would likely have been koni double adjustables (951 343 031/032 33). The rears look to be the original factory parts. Know if the car was raced by Sandridge with the bilstein fronts, or if they were swapped in at a later time?
I got this off rennlist, can't remember who originally posted it, or I would give them credit. Factory motorsport part list for the '91 S2 Clubsport cars:
This makes it pretty clear the car raced with Koni's but came with a pair of Motorsports Bilstein's. Now I need to know what happened to the front Koni's
