If I do any mods to the suspension I think I'll just beef up the sway bars... I have the factory S package and my rears are soft (personal problem, I know.)

Which are closer to the originals, reds or yellows? Or, should I be looking elsewhere? The car currently handles like a worn 911 in transitions thanks to the dead shocks!

IIRC, the reds are typically for stock-travel suspensions. Yellows are for lowered suspensions and/or susp with mods. Check with Koni for your application.

That being said, I've run reds on the rear of my n/a with indexed torsion bars and they've been fine for years. I broke two sets of reds on the front of the same car because I was using lowered springs and the inserts bottomed out and broke the bottom seal.

Love the Bilstein HDs I am running. They work swell with 19mm sway bar.
