Suspension Question
Cross Post from the 924/944/951/968 area
I've upgraded the sway bar assemblies to the 968 M030 sized components and sourced a pair of the front springs from the 968 Club Sport. Figured I'd stick in a set of Koni Sport Struts to finish off the front. For the rears - thought I'd go with the Koni Sport Rears, but then I got a hold of a set of M030 springs and the associated washer. To complete the rear I'm faced with the dilemma of either sourcing rear M030 shocks - or a suitable replacement if I want to use the helper springs.
So...the question is there a suitable replacement shock that can be used with the M030 Spring/washer assembly?
Kind of related is the impact on the ride height. Seems like I may have to re-index the torsion bars to compensate for the extra spring height...anyone experience this?
TIA-

Only the m030 rear shocks will work with those springs but luckily new ones are inexpensive. You will need to re-index TB but you'd need to do this for any suspension worth upgrading to.
