I'm in the process of restoring a 944 s2 i bought off here(some people should leave cars alone. The previous owner was a romancer, looking at the posts he put on here, he had only done at most 20% of what he claimed. He'd even refitted the front calipers upside down, god knows how he bled them, good job it was cheap)
The drivers sill is done(waiting for stock on passenger) ,new drivers front wing,other side is mint, as new fog lights, i've done a complete brake overhall, pistons ,painted, pads, discs, braided lines ,Abs pump (bought from America, it looks like brand new
. I've replaced the cam chain tensioner and pads. Leads, cap, rotor,coil. Blasted and painted the cam cover. Replaced the 911 front seats with original script seats (i've had these refurbished) Will get the belts done by Hartech, then get a promax chip. I've bought a cat replacement pipe off them and a cargraphic back box from Germany (awaiting del), to replace the abortion off an exhaust someone else had fitted, I've fitted new front Arms, from Hartech, 968 castor mounts ,powder coated roll bar, fitted poly bushes to it .I've even painted the Arch liners , lol.On the list is suspension. After considering coilovers, i've decided i don't want another track style car, as i already have a cosworth and a mk2 rs2000 for track use.
I'm looking at this being a GT car, which i intend to use for work , in better weather, my daily being a 4.6 X5.
I've decided to go with "Sport" koni inserts on the original struts, i'll have these powder coated yellow, after converting them. I intend to run either Spaxs or Gaz rear shockers, which are adjustable without removal (Had konis on the cossie years ago,the rears being a pain in the **** to adjust)
My question is regarding the front springs. I have had the wheels refurbished, 17 inch cup 1's and these fill the arches nicely without the car being lowered.
Can i use the original springs, which i'll have powder coated, or do i have to run lowered springs , having cut the legs down ?
