Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute
After doing the mockups with the Ford IRS diff and looking at the tradeoffs I would have to make I've decided this is not the way to go. As we've all noticed the CL of the driveline wants to run right where the 944 Tbar housing sits. It is possible to do a "Tbar delete" (as the Porsche guys call it) and run coil overs but there are other mods that accompany it. Even then I would be running custom shortened axles so when the CV joints wear out I'm faced with expensive replacements. Since my goal is to try and have a car that is affordable to maintain and repair I think my best option is to ditch the 944 rear suspension and graft in the Mustang setup.
So I pulled out the Mustang junk, disassembled the axle from the floor, cleaned up the floor and then studied where to do some trimming in order to get it down to the essential structure that needs to go into the Porsche.
I ended up with this plan and set about doing the trimming.
