I've been searching for rear torsion bar dimensions but can't find what I remember reading some time ago.
I'm getting ready to find some rear T-bars for the 924 race car and want to make sure I get the right parts. Preferably, I would like hollow 34 mm rear bars that fit my '79 chassis with the dogleg box. I'm not sure if there is a difference between the '79 dogleg and later audi box suspensions (and T-bar length and spline counts).

No difference. We have the 34mm hollow bars in the #77.

Order now; ours took 6 months to deliver.

Vaughan,
Did you get them from Weltmeister or Sanders?
Paragon supposedly sells Weltmeisters but the ad isn't clear as to whether they have 924 or 924S T-Bars. I was wondering if the 924S and 944 are the same as the older 924.
Sanders site is under construction and re-sellers only advertise for 924S and 944.
Thanks,
Chuck

They are all the same internally at least up to the 89 so far as I know, I don't know about the 944 S2 or 968.

The differences are external (how the housings are mounted or whether the arms are cast aluminum or stamped steel)

I got mine from Paragon; brand unknown. They seemed very custom...

(I tend to get the vast majority of my P-car suspension stuff from Paragon - excellent selection and support, etc).

Paragon Products is the best! After all the money I spent with them over the years, I think Jason has a boat named after it's benefactor: "Jeremy Jadczak" hahaha. They are really good guys and I got my torsion bars from them, actually two sets of them for two racing 924's. Don't wait though.

Jeremy,
Didn't you come by my house earlier this year when Dan brough his new red car by along with the blond?

Nope that wasn't me, I don't think so.
