Jeza..
Sounds great.. I have a couple of questions for you.. as far as which setup... I had 87 944 spindles that I was going to use.. Ended up not using them due to the following reasons..
-Lack of strut options.. LAP does have a set up that can be used.. I think its Type4boy.. Real nice guy.. and responded to my emails.. Also can use the 944 set up but spring rate is different and some issues with the top mount.. Can't remember exactly.. Plenty of guys here explained the reasons.. Just do a search.. for LOAF or Humble.. He was also doing this and completed..
Another issue was the speedo.. you can drill a hole but since I don't have access to any equipment..
Not to discourage if you have the parts.. I was going to go this route.. But Type4boy was on vacation and during the weekend that he was out.. I got anxious and started searching for other options.. I ended up finding a guy who would sell me 84 944 spindles and hubs for a $120.00 so I said hell with it..
If you are going with the earlier option.. Many choices.. LAP, Kerscher sell springs, and coilover.. and Topline.. Maxxstrut.. This is the option that I am going with.. From talking to them over the phone, very friendly.. I chose this for the height adj and the all in one package.. The other options you must retain the top strut mount assembly.. and a couple of other parts.. With the maxx, it also utilizes a modified rabbit/golf insert.. Not sure what modified means "per conversation with Topline" but figured it ment sawing something off.. to make it work.. This is good because down the road I can put Koni's and have not only height but damping adjusted.
Once I get these I will transfere the calipers and get them mounted on my vert.. Weather Pending..
Hope that helps..
It was tought finding info on the struts.. Many, many people have gone down these roads.. depends on time and money.
LAP setup was like 400 pounds.. Kesher was like 400-500 euro and maxx 400ish.. plus local, CONUS..
