Actually if you take the 944 strut and use a threaded collar with a 10" spring you have about a 1.5-2" drop off the start along with more adjustability based on the threaded collar. As for shocks I purchased the 944 drop in units from Koni (sports - hydraulic units; actually same part number for the superbugs, so they have been designed for our vehicles.), I find gas units are way to stiff for our light front end cars. The advantage of Konis is that they have a constant rate throuought the entire stroke so if you lower your car you dont end up damaging the shock as long as you don't bottom out which wont happen with a bump stop. This is my setup for now, waiting to complete the car to try. Just trying to figure out the rate of the spring since there is much conflicting info. Some say 80, other say up to 120 is fine. Any take on the spring rates?
