I was kind of thinking about doing a complete cage like the one Bader has. However I was thinking about cutting out the vw rear torsion and mounting a 944 complete torsion set up and having it bolt up to the cage. I don't know for sure how to run front suspension if I decide to go away from the b/j beam. Does anyone know any pros/ cons to mounting the 944 in the rear. The reason I want to do this is because I can simply adjust how it is mounted to adjust the ride height I want without working around the camber/ caster issues VW's have when lowered to a certain extent. I realize I will probably have to flare the rear out on the ghia to fit wheels under it.

Remember that the Bader Ghia's rear tubing that you see is only/mainly there because the 911/993 engine uses a (sort of mandatory) rear engine hanger, unlike a bug/vwghia where the engine only hangs on the transmission.
The added 'cage-effect' was used more a s a 'by-product' of the 911 engine install IIRC
