I have to replace front arms for install arms with support for swaybars.
My shocks are not bad but they are almost 20 years old.
When I made this work it behove to replace even shocks?
I think install Sachs with 20mm lower springs.

Not a bad idea for while you're in there, yeah. Though if you replace the struts (dampers), you will end up needing to reset the camber.

Then again, since the rear attachment for the a-arms is the caster adjustment (which can also affect camber, if moved), it wouldn't be a bad idea to realign anyway.

Also, if you lower the car (with the 20mm lower springs), you'll need to reset camber anyway...

The new control arms are for mounting the early 944 style sway bars. I did a "How to" for making adapters fot the 944 bars to t he 924 several years ago. I have 24mm front and 18mm rear sway bars from a 944 turbo on my '77 and it works very well.

My idea is Sachs shocks front and rear.

20mm lowered front spring, but I think not replace torsion bar on rear with ticker model.

This can create displacement on car setup ?
