Greenman--

I would love to get additional details about your front suspension mod. I truely believe isolating the sway bar from the rest of the suspension will make the handling more predictable. I have coil overs based on Porsche 944 housings with Koni inserts from a VW Golf and 125# springs(American measuring method....I think you guys use a different standard).

I too have a Mendeola stuffy kafer cup bar, with Porsche 924, 26mm upgrade torsion bars and Koni shocks.

I'm running a stock 1303 front sway bar and 944 14mm rear bar.

Hi

I was able to fit 15x6 Cookies on my car with Boxster fronts and 944 rears with Boxster calipers

On these older pics can you remember the Wheel/tyre combo?
Thanks

The assembly process continues.
I've been collecting as many NOS items as possible and finally get the chance to install them.
I tweaked the colour and in person it looks a bit duller in shade.
Hints of Sage Green colour like a 74+ Bus

Hi Bogara_ZO
From memory the rims were 16 * 7" fronts with 205s and the rears were 16 * 8" with 225 tyres with something like a +28 offset
