So I saw these on ebay.

I wasn't aware that there was an OEM coilover solution at all... Also, would this fit on a 1986 951?

Yes. IIRC, the 968CS used a special barrel spring of about 80lb/in in addition to the standard torsion bar to end up with a similar wheel rate to the 944 Turbo SE. I suspect they added the coilover for homologation purposes.

You can also convert the Bilstein HD shock (B36-2052) to coilover using a 1-7/8" coilover kit. The shock has to be grooved for a circlip and the top hat modified slightly to suit the top shock tube. Fairly easy, Bilstein can do all this for you.

Or you can buy a BRR-0036 which uses 60mm ID sprimgs of 85lb/in rate. 85lb/in at the shock = 36lb/in at the wheel.

Have a look at http://www.forzasuspension.se/sidor/special/mitt.html

Note that these are only suitable for "assist" coilovers and you must reindex the torsion bars.

Hope this helps!

I've bought from that seller before. Very good vendor, but don't worry about the kinky wrapping paper!

Parting out a M030 968 might even be worse than parting out a turbo S....the M030 968 is even rarer...

but, all good cars must go to heaven sooner or later - Lart's cars must be going through some eastern religon's reincarnation process!

Oddjob

Anyone notice anything unique about the front springs?

Mark944na86

As much as it pains me, I have to agree with Lart... they sure look like Konis to me.

Progessive rate turbo S springs....
