24srr27l, my Bilsteins didn't include the little external boot retaining rings (that hold the bottom of the boots down, referred to as #2 in the instructions) - did yours come with them?

Not sure? I'm using 2.5" ID Race coils and the boots won't go inside these so I can use them anyway,

You haven't got enough power to overcome the drag if you fitted all this Aero, you'd probably add 2 seconds to get to 60 mph and knock off 25mph top speed!

You're right, it isn't powerful enough right now, but in a few months it will.

How powerful do you think a 944 would have to be?

I see the GT300 cars are 300 hp, so that must be acceptable. Wilson wont be 300 hp though.

Correction.
Okay, my information is old.

"The cars are divided into two groups; GT300 and GT500. The names of the categories derive from their traditional maximum horsepower limit - in the early years of the series, GT500 cars would have no more than 500 horsepower, GT300 cars would max out at around 300 hp. However, the current generation of GT500 powerplants produce in excess of 600 horsepower. Meanwhile, in present-day GT300, the horsepower range varies from around 400 to just over 500 horsepower, however, GT300 cars have far less downforce than their GT500 counterparts."

Dunno it's usually dependant on what Competition your doing?


The Nissan example without all that Aero would be a lot slower of course, but a 200bhp road car 944 would be slower on the road with loads of wings etc...


Some is better than None, so a Rear Hatch Spoiler and a front chin Spoiler can Improve the cd, but big wings will probably create too much drag?


I might try a front flat splitter on the lower Spoiler next year, and I have fitted the Bridge Style rear deck Spoiler and Gurney which has all been done with no calculations at all!
