Actually, I made a mistake. My torsion bars are only 24.5mm which are 149#/in. I'm not sure what you'd need for a coilover spring, but 400# seems like a bit much.

I've got the suspention parts off an 86' 944 with the sport suspention. The 86 spindles do not bolt to the super beetle struts. So I'm using the 86 strut housing that were modified to work with rabbit shock inserts and ground control coil over setup. Unfortunately the front beetle and 86 944 parts don't work together out of the box. So that's something to take into consideration. The rear was no problem.
