OEM Torsion bar size for a '87 turbo look
Anyone know what size front and rear torsion bars came on an '87 turbolook cabriolet 911?
Thanks!

Pretty sure 26mm on the rear, I want to say 19 on the front, but I haven't confirmed yet.

I'm bumping this up for Vu as I'm helping him lower the rear this weekend.
Trying to calculate the spring plate angle, but need the t-bar size.

No, according to that chart and the factory catalogue, they would be 25mm, exactly the same as a regular Carrera. Remember, the real turbo still had a 930 trans, (like a 915), in '87, while the turbo look had a G-50 trans. Completely different torsion tubes. And in '89, when the turbo got a G-50, the rear bars were 27mm. It was always about the weight, hence 19mm in front from '74-'89 where the weight never changed much.
You have to read those charts carefully when it comes to special models, like the "turbo look".

Well, we successfully lowered the car yesterday. Pictures coming soon.
The rear t-bars were measured with a micrometer and were indeed 25mm.
