Looking at suspension
So I have been doing a lot of research on what suspension to upgrade to later this year and ran into this:
Porsche 924/944/968, coilover struts, camber plates and rear shocks
http://www.ground-control-store.com/...hp/II=696/CA=2
I know they make a good camber plate, but has anyone ever used this? It says it comes with a rear shock, can anyone explain more about that, if you have gotten it.

I placed an order with specific rates, and setup details.
I had 2 months before a big event, and made it very clear I HAD TO HAVE stuff in 6 weeks.
They took my money and the short of it is after 8 weeks I demanded a refund and missed my event
A decent product I gather, but I will never have dealings with them again.

Reno, let me know how that works out. I am leaning towards Paragon's coil over system (rebuild of my current strut), new Bilsteins coil over front/rear, ?? So for the rear you are just replacing with the Firehawk stocks from Bilstein in the rear? What are you doing with your torsion bars?

If I go with Paragon rebuild, I will adjust the rear end down about 1" when I put in new torsion bars. I am thinking 400lbs Front, 30mm rear torsion if I do that.

Well, right now I only have 240 rwhp and 250 rwtq by a mustang dyno, but many have told me I should have a lot more. 3 years ago when I had the stock k26/6 with only have of my upgrades, I was hitting 240 rwhp and 300 rwtq. The car pulls much harder then before. I might need to go back to the dyno jet and see how it compares. At 3,800k it starts to really pull and 4k is just screams up to redline with boost never falling off. I start to get boost around 2,800 but it takes until 3,600 to get 16 full psi in 4th gear.

If I had to guess right now, I would say at 15psi (what I am running actually) I would be 290rwhp. I actually bought this turbo from a rennlister who was putting down 401 rwhp at 24-26psi. Of course, he had some head work that I don't but other then that, all is about the same.
