Awesome information Chigger! I really appreciate it.

I have been researching the rear swaybar mounting and it seem to be pretty easy to do with some minor welding work for the mounts to the torsion tube. Check out http://www.924.org/techsection/technical.htm for some pictures.
Also it seems there are at least two sizes a 14mm and 18mm in the standard 944, not sure what the Turbo ran. My concern was mounting the eccentric bolt, which it seems will not be an issue given this information.

I hate the EMPI kit. The mounts suck going around the tranny horns.

Still not certain if the 944 torsion bars can be used in the IRS pan, nor do I know the ratings on the 944 versus the T1 bars as stock. I know the T3 Squareback had heavy bars, but are they heavy enough? All I know is that the stock T1 IRS bars are too soft for my tastes and it will need remedied.

Thanks,
