Post 944 Turbo Cup suspension specs?

What do the factory race car "Porsche 944 Turbo Cup" suspension consist of?

I know that it is Bilstein shocks with coilovers on all corners.

What kind of swaybars? spring rates? shock adjustment (single or double, external or internal)? Are the torsion bars removed or are the rear coilovers just helper springs, like on the M030?

Any more info would be appreciated!

30mm non adjustable front sway bar, 21mm three-way adjustable rear sway bar, ~190-400# progressive front springs on Bilsteins front, 30mm torsion bars rear [330# wheel rate] with Bilsteins.

I didn't think the Bilsteins were adjustable. <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

The bars look right but I thought the Motorsport bars were both non adjustable.

My car is supposed to have the motorsport equipment and neither bar is adjustable.

944 Turbo Cup rear sway bar is 21mm(3 way adjustable) 25.5mm Rear Torsion Bar.

You can adjust the rear sway bar and the Front and rear right height( coilovers)

The Bilstein shocks are not adjustable.

SO the cup cars did use torsion bars plus springs? Ive been looking at coilover setups and am contemplating if its worth going with a kit that removes the torsion bars, I know they were load bearing.
