Default Bilstein hd shocks questions

I am looking for a set of 4 bilstein hd shocks B6 for my 993. Where do you guys recommend getting all 4 at for a good price.

Would these be the correct part number for the shocks on our car?

Left front part number is 35-116486.
Right front part number is 35-116493.

Left rear Bilstein part number is 24-061308.
Right rear Bilstein part number is 24-061315.

Thanks!

That was my guess but since the 993 is a sports car I thought it would mean something else. Heavy duty is usually for trucks, towing...

A web search using "35-116493 bilstein" provides wide spread availability and pricing to match.
Possibly try Gert's shop @ http://www.carnewal.com ? He's a trusted resource, like others here, for our 993s. .. As a long time Bilstein user myself, and as an aside, isn't the Koni FSD the go-to street/sport damper these day's. There's been big changes in damper technology in the past decade or so...

I was and still am contemplating which set to get. I like the koni fsd but some people were telling my the blisteins are better in the long run. The price is obviously better on the konis.
