More ideas
Your right, it may be worth doing only to have said it was done. I once used this logic during a home repair and ended up with half the roof off in an afternoon.
I was looking at the sway a way site and the dimensions of avaliable torsion bars. the 944 has the 26" bars. I could narrow the torsion beam to fit the 24" bars and reduce the track increase inherent in the Al trailing arms. The torsion tube has been welded during manufacturing, so I could cut it at the original welds and narrow without any structural losses. The only caveat I see is that the space between the inboard trailing arm pivots would be tight around the trans. It may necessitate moving the tranny back an inch or two. I will mock it up and try to post measurements and pics.
