FWIW, you can still build and run a 944Spec (SP1) car, just won't have that much competition in class (yet, anyway). But still an effective route to racing, without having to go the whole SP2 route. And in the end, the time differences between 944Spec and SP2 isn't that much different, so would still be fun to drive & race.

Regarding the rear suspesion, Koni coilovers is the way to go. Easy install, and easy corner balancing. And as I'm reading the rules, coil overs in place of torsion bars is allowed in all the 944Cup classes.
