1987 Porsche 944S - The car has been completely transformed!

Thanks!

Regarding the ramps, I'll try and remember to get measurements when I'm next over at my unit.

If I remember correctly, I just bought them on ebay randomly. I do have two sets of ramps, one is slightly longer than the other and thus has a better ramp angle for lower cars, but it's not that much of a difference.

Anyways...

last saturday I started on the rear suspension.

​

​

Got everything out so I could remove the torsion bars as I will no longer be running them with the new coilovers.

Happy to report that all the bushings and such in the rear suspension still looked brand new, so I didn't see fit to replace them. Only a brake hose was porous so I kinda went all out and ordered new braided brake hoses, drilled discs, pads all around and two new rear calipers.

So got the main axle back on the car and that's as far as I got last week.



On Wednesday I got the trailing arms, sway bar and the coilovers in.



Today I continued on and installed the brakes and drive shafts...





And then it was finally time to put it back on it's wheels and see how it looks!






















Left side front wheel has a 15mm spacer for testing purposes, it looks good but considering that the top of the wheel will come out a bit again once the camber is corrected with an alignment, I think 10mm spacers (or 7mm since I seem to only find these instead of 10s) will be the safe bet and it will look perfect.

I'm really happy with the outcome.

Next to do is to do the front brakes which I will do sometime next week, then get it aligned.

Looks gorgeous!

That looks how a 944 should look in my mind.
Well done.
