The official Porsche Centres in the UK all compete every year to restore older cars to as new condition.

The final was on Saturday at Siverstone Classic.

The 928 S4 was just like new. Take a look in how this was achieved.

I think lower arms on rear suspension are wrong way round. They shouldn't point down like that on outer end.

Nice, but Minerva is better

Before picture for comparison.

It is sitting rather high at the front. It looks like Bilsteins were fitter with the longer springs for Boge shocks. Manual recommends a shorter spring is fitted when swapping shocks.

Jerry Feather

Nice catch, Erkka. Those components are frequently referred to as "dog-bones" and are curved so at to clear the frame component of the body on full suspension flexion (sp?). The concavity of the curve should be on top.

I highly doubt the car has been driven enough for the suspension to settle. I've replaced several dozens of S4 shocks and never had to put "Shorter" springs on them. Do you have a reference for this?

Sean I thought it was the Workshop manual as it lists the different colours of springs available. The car is straight off the ramp so I agree it takes a while to drop to final height. I have just done the swap on my GTS and was 175mm after a 50 mile run.

I made the same comment as you on FB when another member flagged this up.

I still have the rears to do so useful notes above on getting drop links correct.

The different colored dots indicated the spring pressures, not length. Easy to think that though.
