I have gone the route that Tony suggests and have also used Jason at Paragon for much technical info as well as this and other boards. I now have the following setup:

Koni Coil overs up front with 400 lb springs 26.8mm sway bar
Gaz Coil overs in rear with 575 lb springs 16 mm sway bar

Torsion bars removed, bushings replaced (Why Porsche actually calls the volcanized rubber thing a bushing is beyond me?? Not sure when all bolted together how it actually moves in ANY precision manner?? The race area has so much slag from the welding process its almost laughable.)

I think the car is incredibly neutral, infinetly adjustable as far as ride height with much ease. Change springs weight, height at a moments notice etc.. etc.... etc..

In the end as my car sat in the garage with my little time and money for all these so called upgrades I WISH I never messed with it and got MORE seat time like many people suggested to me. I missed DE's because I wanted to do all this stuff and quite frankly have missed much fun and valuable time.

I will say in the end I do like working on the thing as much as driving it (I'm strange like that) but do look back and feel that participating in the DE's would have been a better use of the time and money.
