Guys, I'm looking to install a suspension package in my 964. The car will be used for the street/autocross with a few DE's thrown in.Here's the following:

H&R red springs with Bilstein HD shocks. R/S sway bars. Pretty common combination. I'd like to hear from the guys who are running this combination. Have you been happy with it? If not why? Do you think I will contend with broken sway bar mounts due to excessive sway bar sizes vs relatively soft springs?

Thanks in advance,

Dan

 

< CRICKETS> Anybody?

 

Saw your post and that it had not had any replies. I can't help a lot at this point, but I just installed the HR turbo and Bilstein HDs. No new rear sway yet. I have not had a chance to work the suspension out yet. However, I did extensive searches on the subject and found a few comments about rear sway mount failures, but no one that actually said they experienced it. I may be naive, but I'm not losing sleep over it based on the number of guys here that the same set up and have not had any trouble.

I do plan on installing an adjustable rear. If anyone has had trouble, maybe they can chime in now.

 

Thanks Lynn, any response at this point is a good one. I too saw some comments about broken sway bar mounts in my search. I also was interested in hearing from gents who run the H&R red spring Bilstein HD's in competitive events and DE.

I am using the Reds.bilstein combo on both my C2 and turbo. On my C2 i have TRG or RS equivalent bars. IMO the rear bar set to full is too small and the front I need to set to 2nd from softest to compensate for the rear. Unless you are running RS springs or stiffer the TRG/RS sways don't work IMO. You are better off just buying the rear and keeping the front or moving up to an RSA front bar.

I have the 26mm rear H&R bar in my turbo set to soft with factory front bar. I think with the H&R 24mm front bar you can get the maximum performance out of these cars. I am thinking of adding teh front to my turbo and switching to H&r all around for my C2.

 

Anthony, thanks. That was a lot of real world insight to the working of different sway bar setups. Thats exactly what I needed so I can make a informative choice.
