Wrenchride247 - thanks. That is a great link. I had not been to the site before following your link. At first blush it does then seem that the P parts are something for me to seriously consider.

I just had a look through Wayne Dempsey's "101 Projects for your Porsche 911". I now am thinking that I should replace the ball joints and tie rods (and ends).

Dempsey mentions installing a "bump steer kit" to alleviate the bump steer problem that is apparent after one lowers a car.("The tie rods are no longer at the proper elevation".) I don't recall seeing anything of this on any forum.

How do I check and make certain that the torsion bars don't need replacing? Or should I just automatically replace them?

Cheers,

Torsion bars are usally changed if you want a stiffer spring rate. They rarely "go bad".
