Hi guys,

The Bilstein options that I know of are as follows:

Option #1
FL: AK1110-A 380/150
FR: AK1111-A 380/150
Rear: AK35432

Option #2
FL: AK1120 600/180
FR: AK1121 600/180
Rear: AK37354 565/218

I got this information at the following link:

<a href="http://www.eshocks.com/bil_vehR.asp?Model=Porsche_944_Turbo&Model_Long=Porsche+944+Turbo&Manf=A ll" target="_blank">http://www.eshocks.com/bil_vehR.asp?Model=Porsche_944_Turbo&Model_Long=Porsche+944+Turbo&Manf=A ll</a>

I have some questions:

(1) Is the Bilstein Turbo Cup suspension represented by one of the options listed above?
(2) If not, does someone have the part numbers and valving info for the Cup suspension?

Thanks.

Karl.

The cup suspension is the 1120 and 1121 with the 37354 threaded body in the rear. I have this setup in my car with 500lb springs in the front with 350's in the rear with the stock torsion bar. While it is EXTREMELY stiff, i don't mind it much and it is my daily driver for the street.

Konstantin:

I just heard from someone that there might be another type of M030 rear anti roll bar for our cars: I bought the 18 mm diameter version, that my research of the 968 Club Sport said was the one to have. Now I understand there might be a 22 mm version as well...Can you confirm?

I had the

Option #1
FL: AK1110-A 380/150
FR: AK1111-A 380/150
Rear: AK35432
on a previous 951 -91

they are much stiffer than the Konis that my current car came with and in my opinion great allround shocks ( allthough female company are recomended to wear a sports bra).


Cheers

What exactly is the bilstein turbo cup suspension?

On my 951S I have H&R struts with Bilstein shocks. Springs are 120 N/mm front, and 50 N/mm rear (+ torsion bars). I use the car on street and track.
It is stiff!!

Do I have what you call the bilstein turbo cup suspension?
