Let's face it, my 924s handles spongy, sqeeks in the rear, and it clunks when it runs over the smallest stuff.

With that said, I really want to replace the suspension components. Since I have to get dirty in there, why not go M030?

My problem is that I don't know where I can get my hands on a fresh set of M030 components(maybe other than selling a kidney at the dealership).

Where can I find *fresh* M030 parts or the OEM equivalent of these parts? And hopefully all from one vendor.

I am talking struts, springs, torsion bars, sways, and bushings etc.

Thank you.

I don't know if these guys have *everything*, but one of these two will have most of what you're after:
http://www.paragon-products.com

Here's some other resources that might help

The Paragon Products "suspension packages" are a pretty good deal. They are mainly for 944Cup/944Spec racers, but all the stuff you need should be there.

The "Spec 4" Package is for the 924S.

Thanks for posting these links. I was hoping to find a reasonably priced package just like Paragon's. Definitely on my wish list.

I can't seem to get the 924S "Katalog" to load (.pdf file). Anyone have it saved on their harddrive?

You sure you want to reindex your t-bars?

It sounds to me like your suspension is just worn out. You might want to start out with something less labor intensive and see how you like it.

Example:

• Refresh control arm bushes (Prothane brand, look for "Golf/Rabbit Mark I," do NOT get Weltmeister) - $25
  
• Bilstein shocks and struts (Allshocks.com) - $400
  
• Lindsey 19mm rear sway (lindseyracing.com) - $150
  
• the largest front sway you can find from Ebay or a junkyard (partsheaven.com) -$75

I guarantee the car will handle awesome and TOTALLY unlike it does now, and you may be satisfied to stop there. It really is a bitch to get into t-bars, and you might not like the ride of the Spec suspension.

I have a couple of spare 23mm front sways floating around, one of each variety (solid early 924 style; tubular 944 style)...

Poor quality. . .keep an eye on them and you will see what I mean after you have run them for a while.
