This is a full length video of my 1985.5 Porsche 944 NA suspension upgrade. I take our the stock shocks/struts and torsion bars and replace it with Riaction's coilover kit made specifically for my year and model car.

After doing the conversion I love the way the car handles, I took out a 38 year old suspension and upgraded it to a newer technology.

I'm not an expert or professional. Just a DIY-er and I might call parts or tools incorrectly, but hopefully you can understand what I'm talking about.

It is not difficult, it just takes time tools and effort. I didn't see an in-depth video on here, so I recorded the steps I took with a lot of help and direction from Elliott at 944Barn. This is in depth, and you could probably play it at 1.5 or 2x but I wanted to make it as thorough as I could so hopefully it helps someone doing this upgrade.

This is specifically of Riaction's kit, but the removal and instillation of other brands should be similar.
