Default Suspension bushing replacement, in Europe?

Hi,

Do you know a company in Europe that could change all the bushings of the suspension?
I want to keep the original arms of my 1988 CS, of course, as they are certainly orginal to the car (good surprise).

Thank you in advance.

Samuel,

All the bushes are widely available in Europe. They are made by a company in Eastern Europe which supplies the likes of Roger, Rose Passion, Partwerks.de, Berlinetta UK and a few others. These are the same guys who supply the rebuild front arms to Mark Anderson/Roger etc as well as the newly remanufactured rocker bar (Weissach) bush, which is NLA from Porscjhe.

I have used their front bushes on my GTS 5-spd and my S4 5spd. The quality is amazing. First time I bought from Rose Passion, 2nd time I used Partwerks.de

Alex

P.S. Of course, all the rear bushes except the rocker arm are also available from Porsche, but you already knew that

Thank you, Alex

Do you recommand Partwerks.de, then?
And do they supply the rocker arm bushings for the rear?

You are only supposed to polish the CS not actually ride in it!

My current one was the ugliest that I knew!
Non original paint, non original engine, and quite bad condition. No history at all, also.
I have driven the first one 50,000 km in around 10 years and hope to do at least the same with the new one, once finished

They were very efficient pre-Brexit. Given that you are in France, it should be very quick for you too. It's worth calling them on the rocker bush - they speak perfect English, which you do too

The car is not in France currently, but still in mainland Europe, so this should not be a problem.
Thank you, again
