Are the 968 caster blocks better than the 944 turbo M030 units?

 

I would like to supplement this with: how/where can you get either?

 

The 968 unit is the update for stock control arms.

well at a glance Lindsey beat both those prices.
it looks like both of them allow a little more Castor.
I think the 968 ones and spend the difference on a strut brace .

Ebay has them for cheap too

 

The 944/951 style castor blocks are no longer available from Porsche. The 968 blocks superseded them.

 

Understood but are the 968 blocks an upgrade compared to the 951S M030 blocks? I don't want to remove my existing blocks, which are still in good condition, unless the 968 version is superior.

 

Is there a difference in the 951S M30 block vs the 951 block? I havn't seen one, have a link?

 

the 968 version is superior.

 

The Elephant Racing / Racers Edge monoball units beat all!

The End..

 

Not sure how thorough they were, but the 951S/M030 cars had stiffer rubber compound throughout the suspension.

 

DO NOT buy ebay, it is not original

 

Exactly, which is why I asked the question. Perhaps it is a bad move to toss my good condition 951S M030 blocks to install the 968 version

 

 

951S/M030 blocks are the same style/design as the stock 944/951 blocks, but are a harder durometer rubber. The 968 blocks are a different design (much less rubber), and generally considered a good upgrade over the stock blocks. I would also say they are an upgrade to the 951S/M030 blocks too, but I would not replace good condition blocks. For a street car, I would wait until the rubber starts to crack and fail, because it will eventually.

If this is for a track application, then I would consider going with the 968 blocks (or better) at some point.
