I'm not going to claim to be a fitment expert, but my understanding is that these will fit any 944 Turbo with serviceable (removable) strut cartridges.

There are no markings on the perches that I can see. Here is a close-up shot of that helps.

The blue one is a Racer's Group perch, the bottom one is a bilstein perch upside down being used as a jam nut.

For what its worth - I had Racer's Group perches, hats and camber plates on two sets of the bilstein cup suspension. I thought the TRG parts were very well made.

My plan is to give this a try for 7-10 days, then they'll go up on eBay. These sets always seem to sell quickly over there!

Oh, and for anyone looking for springs (for this set or any other need), be sure to check out Derek@TRG's garage sale thread:

TRG Garage sale thread: LOOK INSIDE!!!!!

I am not able to view the TRG garage sale thread to look at the springs for sale. Anyone know where to find used hyperco springs?

You could try PM'ing "Derek@TRG", I expect he would reply. Here's the picture he posted in the thread of some available springs. I think the blue springs are typically Hyperco / Hypercoil.
