Dimensions of 944 torsion bars

Check the main page, GermanLook.com there's a good tech article on suspension. Which Porsche bars will work with vws. and sizes... :agree:

i think mine were either 27 or 27.5mm diameter and same length as a late beetle bar ( I hope). However it is important to consider that although a t-3 Squareback bar is 27mm, they may be softer due to different composition. I am only going to install the porsche torsion bars after i have my 17x9 wheels, because otherwise with to small a tire and too stiff of a rear suspension, you will run into oversteer problems.

I looked at the Tech Article on the main page. The Porsche torsion bars range from 22mm to about 26mm(944s).

The Type 3 squarebacks are 22.5mm. It doesn't say anything about fastbacks or Notchbacks.

The best thing to do is read the article, it's very well put together.
