grantmr Posted 30June, 2017 Report Share Posted 30June, 2017 Mine's got aftermarket torsion bars from Nine Plus, which was Nine Auto in a previous life. I think they're relatively the same stiffness as the OEM ones but just drop it down about 15mm. (I'm not completely sure on the specifics, there's no information I can find anywhere about them - they were on the car when I bought them). Lowering makes them look a little bit more beastly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Kay Posted 30June, 2017 Report Share Posted 30June, 2017 Trev, I was under the impression that the fronts were identical. I would even wager this. Rears, I am not so sure...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted 30June, 2017 Report Share Posted 30June, 2017 Mine's got aftermarket torsion bars from Nine Plus, which was Nine Auto in a previous life.You don't really mean torsion bars, do you? They went out with the G series 911s. Although... a coil spring is a wound-up torsion bar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you lower a car just with sway bars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted 1July, 2017 Report Share Posted 1July, 2017 Sway bars. I actually thought they were the same thing... ? I'm not too technical haha I'm not even sure thats how the car was lowered. Can you lower a car just with sway bars?Well, yes - sway bars are torsion bars, but they don't hold the car up - they just limit the amount of roll or "sway".

grantmr Posted 1July, 2017 Report Share Posted 1July, 2017 Well, yes - sway bars are torsion bars, but they don't hold the car up - they just limit the amount of roll or "sway".So does that mean the springs on mine would have been changed. I had it checked out at PCM when I bought it, they only mentioned the aftermarket sway bars. I haven't been under the car to look...Sorry Trev for hijackin your thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADS911 Posted 1July, 2017 Report Share Posted 1July, 2017 I put Bilstein PSS9's on mine a couple of months ago, has totally transformed the handling, both road & track. Bought through design 911 in U.K. Approx AUD$2700 landed $1500 cheaper than anywhere I could find in Aust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
