Post "Turbo cup" suspension FS

I may be selling my Turbo Cup rear Bilstein coilovers with the factory "blue dot" 410 lb progressive rate heigth adjustable springs.
I also have the front springs and adjustable perches available.

These items are no longer available anywhere and were few and far between when they were. They are in as new condition, they look like they have never been used.

These are the best you can run and still be original and run in stock class. They are the best that Porsche ever made for these cars.

I will part with them if the right offer is made.

P.S. This is an excellent street/track setup. I find that they are at the limit of what you would want to run on the street w/out being too harsh, and do a great job on the track........This is due to the progressive winding of the springs. They taper in width and diameter. I have never seen another spring like them.

Well, I have $800 invested, and considered it to be a good deal.

I saw a guy selling a set along with the front Bilstein sports for $2700. A bit pricey.

Ahmet, I believe that we may have already struck a deal, but I will notify you if it does not go through. They are truly amazing units, I hate to let them go.

How is your turbo car doing? You should have bought the white '88 from me, it is an awesome car. I have not had the first problem with it. Ecerything that can possibly go bad has been replaced. I have over $15k in receipts from the last 20k miles!

I hope that your 951 is treating you right though, we will have to get together sometime and go for a cruise in the Blue Ridge mountains with a Porsche Posse or something.

Take care.

I'm glad your deal is working out.

My turbo has been OK aside from a couple of small issues. It definately has been an experience to get it to where it is now though... I'm waiting for front struts, the car has been sitting on jackstands for nearly 6 weeks now, I'm going nuts!

Anyway, we should get together sometime. I'm planning a few road trips up north, and some VIR stuff. I think it looks like I may be getting dragged to a lot of auto-xes around VA next season also so maybe we'll get together around there...

Shame you didn't catch me a month ago.

I just sold a set of front Koni sports and rear carrera coilovers, and now the turbo cup setup.
