So from your experience, the 944 strut insert is the same relative size as the 1303? I have read that some 944 guys were using 1303 in the pre 86 strut.. but they seemed to imply a little drop..

The strut that I used was a Porsche 924S (1986 - 1988) that was the early one with the dampere insert. Its interesting that Porsche continued with the early parts in the 924S in parallel with the later 944.

The 1303 insert is a perfect fit into the 924S/early 944 strut. If there was any drop when using the 944 strut then that could have only come from a lowered spring platform. When I checked the spring platforms on the 1303 and 924S/944 were in the same position. The damper insert can have no effect on the drop.
