Can I dig this up and ask if you went any further with this Fuchs, before I contact Hergesheimer myself? They don't show these perches on their product list on their current website, and there is nothing much elsewhere on the WWW.
My car is on Bilstein/Eibach and I want the front down a touch more. There isnt much recent on Rennlist searches, the last consistent chat about Hergesheimer lowering perches for Bilstein HD was on the 993 forum back in 2005..
Cheers.

That's plan B, or maybe C! If I can't get perches, wondering about trying to find some shorter complete front springs (which would be mixing spring rates, might work might not), but also not sure if winding up the adjusters at the back would push the nose down a touch..?

I had x2 sets made up in the end at a local engineering firm near me, just gave them the bilstein perch and had these made up.....bingo!!
Chris at center gravity has a set I gave him & he may have had more made up as it was about 10/11 months ago now...give him a buzz.

So pretty...but hassle! I guess I already have to visit the machine shop this winter to have my leaky aftermarket valve covers skimmed, so will see what they are saying. Think I will try hergeshiemer and CG first though ...anyway, thank you for the leads my man!

Hello Sir,
Unfortunately we have not supplied those for over 5 years. Originally replacement Bilstein shocks did not have any adjustment and the perches enabled us to align and corner balance these car properly. Shortly thereafter Bilstein shocks came with the added threads on top of the shock that satisfied this requirement.

Good to hear I am not the only one that think my Bilstein HD / Eibach set up is too high in the front! It is adjusted to the bottom of the threaded area now, and is actually higher on the left side. I want it down 1,5" on the left side and 0,75" on the right.
Any ideas on how?
Regards,
Johan
