I would take it easy in the cold and just experiment with handling with low grip, and then use grip at full during the summer with summer tires. If you want best performance all the time you need two...

Can't see why AFM will be the cause at consistent problems at 5100 rpm.
I think 5100 rpm in different gears will use different air intake depending of how the power is to be delivered, so the AFM...

My S2 original have ET55 (16x7) front and ET52 (16x8) rear, So I assume this are boxter wheels. Based on that ET value any spacers will make your wheel stick out, so I would go for the smallest...

Pictures do not reveal any problem. You should check the marking on the wheels.
In particula look for the ET number. They should be close.

3/4 high is quite unusual unless you stack in traffic quite a lot. I would check coolant levels first. Oil pressures you are getting are quite good.

For the stats here, my 2 valve springs that broke were on cylinder #3 with one inlet and one exhaust valve. The exhaust valve eventually burned I presume due to valve float as the inner spring that...

From the pictures above I would say the Koni barrel spring are definitely not 60lb springs. They look more like at least 120lb springs to me or more.

Incorrect front wheel alignment can also cause this. Also if the car is not driven often can cause this. Cheap tires also are more prone to vibration.

Will removing the internals of the standard S2 cat make a suitable resonator. Will this setup sound different then replacing the CAT with a straight pipe?

To be sure previous owner has not tampered with the diff, I would lift the rear axel rotate one wheel and if the other wheel rotates in the same direction then you have a LSD.

You will find that any after market sealed strut made for 944 can be hacksawed. But I think you will need to double check the width of the strut main body is correct.
