Default 993 to 964 suspension question

Hi all,

Can the shocks and springs from a '96 C2 fit a '91 C4 without any issue?

Many thanks in advance!

I stand corrected - Was not aware that someone had made an adapter to work -
But, in looking at it why??? would you go down this road?

I first made adapters for this conversion back in 1998, however the net cost for the adapters and 993 upper bushing mounts rendered the package uncompetitive.

We only did this when Bilstein refused to make a 964-specific PSS-9 kit so we did one using the 993 versions. After they relented and made one for these cars ('92-'94), I used up my inventory and never made any more.

I'd recommend getting a suspension package for your car as thats cheaper than machining adapters and bushings (for the front struts).
