Little has been said about the standard front geometry of the strut suspension on the '02 and '03. IMO the track arm is too flimsy and poorly located and therefore a full A arm construction with adjustable inners to give castor and camber plus dropping the inner mounting point to lower the roll centre and maybe dial in some anti-dive (although there is a danger of increasing the squat). Using the A arm also allows the AR bar to be divorced from the axle location that then permits the AR bar to be adjustable with suitable connectors. 944 struts with standard bottom ball joints permit quicker changing over the press in types found in the '03. An internal strut brace is also a must considering that the top of the strut is mounted to the body and not the chassis - diagonal bracing down to the front chassis being a useful extra.
