WTB torsion bars and other upgrades
I posted in the 944 forum and figured I will try here.
I am looking to finish up my suspension.
Most important thing I need is a torsion bar, would like a 29mm but 28mm might do.
Also would like a strut brace, 968 M030 rear sway bar or lindsey racing rear sway bar, A/C delete kit, and maybe camber plates.
Any other upgrades you have let me know.

I personally wouldn't buy used torsion bars. The set that I replaced in my car seemed to have lost some of their elasticity (rear was sagging and was EXTREMELY soft). <---that sounded horrible
I ended up going with 28mm bars made by "sway-away." They're great on the street, but if you plan to do any serious auto-x or DE you might want to go a little stiffer. What springs are you running up front?

350lb springs and 29mm bars should be very good for auto-x. (I have 300lb and 28mm with stock sway and the balance is superb) Pair that up with some decent shocks, a good alignment, and the right wheel/tire combo for you class and you'll be in good shape!
