>And there is one thing he assumed.. and that is that the SB has the same weight dist (or similer) as the 911<

You are correct. I did assume that, but both have a huge rear weight bias so they have similar needs the way I see it.

In my opinion the stock rear torsion bars in a Beetle are pathetically soft. My suggestion for anyone is to at least get the 944 units.

That being said it does change the handling attributes of the car. But I do not mind a rear that pushes. YMMV

Good luck,
