Just bought a 88 924s. Front sway bar, no rear bar. New Bilstein shocks all around. How well does this car handle with good tires with this stock suspension? Without rear bar? Ger. |

Its impossible that it had no rear sway bar, especially being an 88. _________________ https://www.the924.com |

A stock 944 is an excellent starter car, enough power, good handling and great balance. Somewhere you said you has RS3's, use them they are a good tire. No other mods needed. A set of poly bushings would firm up the suspension, but also make the car a bit harsher on the street. The Spec944 cars that do serious racing are basically a quite hard suspension on a standard car, with all the required cages and safety equipment. My 924 race car has a very similar suspension(400lb spring front, 300 rear) and I have done a few illegal street runs to make sure it is running and it is not a pleasant experience. My only recommendation would be to maybe get a seat that holds you in a bit better, nothing very radical just a bit of a bolster like the cheaper Corbeau's High bolsters are more difficult to get in and out of for street use. _________________ Mike
