ISO : input on rear coilovers

hi i have a 944 that has alot of rear squat..... im running stock NA suspension with KYB inserts in the front / weltmeister SP-200 springs / stock Sway bar and rear is 18mm Sways / Stock T bars / Kyb shocks. The car is LS swaped and would like to have a stiffer or less squat rear if any acceleration is given ..... The rear is lowered with eccentrics it wasnt reindex'ed . Could my rear being low make all the spring rate of the tbar lost due to less travel ?

i highly suggest installing 26mm torsion bars from CIP1.com (they sell in Canada too), they are a perfect match to your 200# front springs, i have the same pairing on my car.

coil overs are a waste of $$ on a street car, IMO...bigger t-bars cost $150 or less and a day to install.

You just added like 100 extra HP over stock - you need to stiffen up the rear of the car.

You need a stiffer rear end to handle the extra HP. Do that either with larger torsion bars, or get some coilovers on the rears.

Doing the torsion bars is the more "elegant" solution, but it will take 1+ days for your first time. Spending $$$ on rear coilovers is easier, but more expensive.

Moving eccentrics doesn't do anything to the spring rate of the torsion bars.
