With no end in sight for rear shocks showing up..and my OEMs are SO far gone, I have nearly zero damping left...I need something.


Suggestions?

 

Send your rears back to Bilstein for reconditioning. I had my fronts done recently for $225 the pair. That included new piston rods for both along with all new seals etc.

I dont have any.

Im on dead blown shot OEM rears.


I have new bilstein fronts..

 

Tirerack still has their sale on Konis.

 

love my Konis

 

I love my Konis also.

 

To buy you some time on buying the koni's you can get a pair of gabriels for less that $40 at autozone. They are multiple valve and stiffer than kyb. I have koni's on the front but my budget hasn't allowed rears yet.

 

Might be an acceptable stop gap.

I can bounce the rear of my car 4-5" pulling down on it ona mid rise lift, in the hatch area..with only 1.5 good arms. (left wrist is bad).

 

Latest promise on Bilstein rears is 5/25 - I will believe it when I see them.
Koni's are not easy to find either.

 

Are you planning to track the car in the near future? If not, then what's the rush? Is it worth installing the Gabriels if they are unlikely to last?

So, do we have a shock crisis going on? Boges are maybe no longer available, and the Bilsteins and Konis are hard to find?

 

Tried Mark Anderson or Mark Benton yet?

 

I do not plan on tracking the car. Nope.

I did that once, and while fun...I have funner options in the driveway for the rare days I can do that.

 

Ask Sean.....I know he has a spare set......

 

Well..he may actually NEED his..I wouldnt wanna put him in that position.

 

Does Porsche have any in stock?
