Actually what started the modifications on the car was that I noticed on hard acceleration the rear suspension was bottoming out. The rear torsion bar springs were shot. Instead of just putting stock bars back in I decided to upgrade the suspension.
My mechanic recommended I call Andial because their 930 suspension was a great street/track combo for the 930 Turbo cars. While everyone else was recommending the 944 Turbo Cup Car suspension, Andial recommended I go a little softer and get fully adjustable sway bars instead of the 3 hole cup car sways. Which was interesting to me because Andial had the cup car parts in stock but were recommending something they didn't have to sell.
Finding the parts made the upgrade process kind of long and drawn out. First was the rear torsion bars which was the biggest they make. And it made me faster. Next was the front and rear sway bar. The front was not adjustable but the rear was. Again faster.
Next was the progressive front springs. I had to order them from Porsche Motorsports directly and Porsche had to make another production run to fill my order. Took 3 months.
Then to be able to balance the car better I added drop links to the front sway bars to make them adjustable too.
