Just wondering if anyone has some time (1+yrs) running without torsion bars using a coil-over system. Street or Track.

There is a lot of info on the 944turbo site. Do a search or post there.

Yes, I have and as a result I am asking that is there anyone running this particular set up currently and has been with no issue or not. Searching through the info led to this question. I guess from your answer that you are not running this setup?

I am not running it, but am considering it for the future. What is your question? I would be interested in hearing it.

I have been running full coil-overs with torsion bar delete for the last 4 years on my 951. The only issue that I had was early on I broke a rear shock mount bolt. After that I switched to the Racers Edge lower shock mounts and haven't had any issues. I plan to swap this setup over to my 968.

I've removed my torsion bars and run coil-overs, too.

Currently have Motons with 650# and 750# springs.

Thanks that is what I wanted to hear. Alot of the discussions always stem from people talking about it but never a critical mass of people saying yes I run it street/track and have been for a considerable amount of time. I have chosen the escort cup and have already deleted the rear torsion bars but of course after it is back together is when I question the strength of the rear lower shock bolts.

I did get the racer's edge rear shock mounts. If anyone is using them, did you all have the thread changed to 1/4 from 14mm? Anyone using stock bolt?

Rich Sandor

Jason, do you have the stock shock mounts on the rear?

Jason Judd

Rich,

I don't think so...I'm pretty sure we upgraded when I first went to the Bilstein Cup suspension.

I just got the Motons this winter from a fellow who is parting out his car. I don't think we did anything different to put those in.

With the RE units you have to change the lower shock sperical bearing to a half inch. The stock 14mm is too large.

Like I said above, I tried using the stock bolts, but it didn't work to well. I hit a bump at 110 mph and it snapped the bolt in two.

I have been running Motons with not T-Bars for 4 years. Using stock bolts;cars is used on street and DE events with no issues.

Escort cups. 550 rear springs. no t-bars. a couple of years. no probs.

Real experience is the most valuable, you guys are really helping. Kasturbo, great photo, totally illustrates what I was trying to spark up a discussion about. Ehall, do you like the escort cups on the street? Does the increased responsiveness to the road cause internal injury?

I don't know. I don't wear skirts!

I don't know. I don't wear skirts!

Why not, parents require them all to go pass your knees?
