I just installed this rear suspension beam in my 951, which has a very low ride height that affects the suspension geometry (was mostly a track car for the last 15-ish years, had already installed custom drop spindles to correct the front geometry). This mimics the old Kokeln rear suspension beam, and replaces the factory torsion tube.
I just did a 3-day road rally in far northern CA with the setup and it was amazing---harsh for some of the narrow and rutted roads, but the handling was great. This setup is a bridge too far for most, but this car has been my suspension/handling test bed for 18 years now, not going backwards!
I'll make a comprehensive post in the 944 Turbo section when I have time.
That looks very nice. May have to switch to that. My LEDAs don't have the top hat on the rear coilovers that the KWs do and it rubs against the wing portion of the factory torsion tube. Major bummer
Feel free to reach out if you want to arrange a time to meet up and take it for a spin, I'm not far away, I'm always up for a Jalama Road run
