968 Castor Blocks
I have a 88 944 Turbo S that I bought some 968 Castor blocks for from the consensus of the online forums that they will be an upgrade. Less rubber than the older style should hold alignment better on the track. Seems resonable. The car is over at a pretty reputable shop that specializes in 944/951/968's, they told me that they actually prefer the older style which is on my car now. I value their opinion as they obviously setup a lot of track cars and I am no expert, but it seems to contradict the overwhelming bias on the forums that the 968 blocks should be an upgrade. Any thoughts??

Service manual states that the newer style castor blocks should be used with any upgrades. May be the only ones available.

My neighbor uses these and he likes them.
ELEPHANT RACING Weather-Sealed Monoballs, for Porsche 944 I am contemplating the RE version.

Yeah, I was debating on the Elephant or RE bushings, but didn't want to worry about the maintenance of the spherical bushings since its still a street car too.

Strictly from the driving point of view, what a helluva change!! I drove Rod's 944 (the German) and he has the Elephant Racing bushings. The difference in steering feel is staggering...

I have a brand new set (monoball) made by kokeln, with the adjusters for $250+ shipping.
