Found lots of discussions here, but not solutions...
What do I have:
Koni Sport shocks + #250 coils + 205x55x16 @ the front;
Koni Sport + #??? coils + 23.5 t-bars + 225x50x16 @ the rear;
Stock sway bars - 23/14 front/rear;
Track width is equal to 944 - 23 mm offset wheels on 931 (early 944) suspension.
Local company swears that they can retrofit my rear dumpers with threaded sleeves to put coils on them. Which coils should I prefer at the rear to archive near-the-neutral steering?

Effective rate of the rear 23.5mm torsion bars is 126#. So to match the 250# up front you wouldn't want to go more than 100# helper springs on the coil overs.
