Thanks for the response.
Home is Sunbury Ohio, the region is Great Lakes. Every time I would talk to Paragon, they told me they were waiting on the swaybars, but 2 months? They should of offered to ship the rest of the kit and ship the swaybars when done, on their nickel.

I own three 944s, two 84s and one 86. I autox one of the 84s in F prepared and I was buying the kit for it. The 86 I drive on the street. I just bought the other 84 last weekend and was thinking about making a Spec car out of it. But someone had told me that the steel lower A-arm cars hold up better then the alum ones, so I wanted to here from the forum if this was the case.

I did find some Koni shocks here. www.truechoicekoniracingservices.com/

Thanks, Randall

ok...that makes sense. Figured I read it wrong.
I like the early car,I bought an 84. We also have the option of running either wheel offset with the early cars.

Early steel arm are preferred - light, strong, cheap to replace, ad cheap ball joints. The late aluminum arms are OK, slightly better geometry, but heavier, and more expensive to replace/maintain. Early aluminum arms did not tolerate lowering well, and are not recommended.

We have a growing group out here in the MW - come by & visit us at Putnam in a couple of weeks.

Send your email to eric.kuhns at gmail dot com, and I'll add you onto the mailing list.

Since you have 2 84 chassis and the 86 is a street car run the 84. One can easily be a parts car for the other.

You can retofit steel arms to the 86 with much difficulty. You just pull the Al ones out and put the steel in. You will need the steel arm caster block, but since you have two 84's you have those.

The good thing about steel arms is that they are cheap at $25 each and ball joints are $15 each and bolt in replacements.

Thanks guys, I think I'm going with the 84, because the 86 is one owner, low mileage car that is pristine.

The kit I order (but never got) had this included.
Fits 944 1983-85
Pair of front Koni Shocks
Pair of rear Koni Shocks
Front Adjustable Weltmeister 28mm Sway Bar Kit
Rear Adjustable Weltmeister 22mm Sway Bar Kit
Front Coil Over Kit
Rear Solid Weltmeister Torsion Bar Set

"We normally recommend 350# front springs and 30mm rear torsion bars but the choice is yours."

Who would be so kind and tell me if these are a good starting point.
Front (28mm) and rear (22mm)bar?
Is 350# the right spring rate for the front?
Is 30mm rear torsion bars the right rate?
Is this what I need? I'm trying to track this stuff down through other part stores.

Hey Sterling Doc, I was at Putnam park yesterday for a test day with our Carbir S2 car. Putnam is a fun fast track and you guys will have great time there. Wish I could be there with my 944, but I figure it will take about a year to get a Spec car ready. I live 55 miles from Mid-Ohio, so I may run up there for a race to watch.

Thanks, Randall

I have all that stuff on my 84 944 except I also run the flat camberplates. The 350lbs spring rate will work fine as it is what I use however some guys like 400lbs too. Either way those parts will put you in the ball park and the rest is down to tuning these parts to suit your car, tracks and driving style.
