Yes, sorry Alex, I should have worded it better. I wrote, "one kit did state" when I should have said, "one of the kits" and assumed that it's known that you can't have one without the other, thanks for clearing it up for those that don't know.

Craig,

here is the link. Maybe if there is enough interest it could be our next group deal. They are not cheap though and it still uses the torsion bars.
Rear Coilover

James,

no problem. That M14 bolt is pretty big and strong. There should be no worries with it without running the torsion bars.

Thanks for the link, Alex.
For those of us that don't read german, how much is not cheap?

And are the shocks adjustable?
Since i'm running 944t trailing arms i'll have an m14 bolt at the bottom, but now with all this concern re: front coil-overs, i'm concerned about the top rear shock mount. any ideas?

[Alex]

Yes,

the Käfer Cup brace will tie in the upper shock mounts.
That should give you plenty of strength.

Or the custom Kafer brace (to clear the 915 trans) will.

Thanks Alex.

[Alex]

Any good bracing will do the job.
