Got a smoking deal on an '83 944 ITS racer that needs adjustable front struts and I need advice on what works best and where to get them.
Thanks in advance,
Lance in Northern Illinois

By adjustable I mean mostly for ride height/corner weighting, damping adjustment would be nice bonus.

If you want to know what the spec cars use; paragon (linkey at the left<<<<<) has a nice package for 944 spec:

They also carry the front coil over package which has a threaded sleeve that slips over the strut housing to give you height adjustability.

yeah Paragon has the best stuff. I got the coilover set with 400# springs for $250. I already had the Koni struts though.
