Rear Coilovers

Hi

That's a good price on the rear shocks.

How much lighter in the rear end would a 944 be over a Beetle? I'm thinking in terms of the shock bolts taking whole weight of the the rear end of the car.

Not that much I was surprised to learn..
Unless you run heavy air-air intercoolers and a heavy turbo in the back too

I just wondered if these would be of any help to some peoples applications,the rear lower bolts look like they would be very useful ?
I wonder if they would be any use with alex's uniball set up ?

Yeah, that lower bolt is mandatory for rear coil over with alu arm and without torsion bars imo. It can also be bought seperate at another 944 specialist in the US iirc for about $150,-/set.
