I was then disappointed when Jeff of Rothsport said the adapter he had probably would not work for me as they were specifically for 993 PSS9 to early model 964. I'm not clear why the adapter wouldn't work for other shocks. Maybe its the way the center of the adapter is machined to fit over the top of the shock (see pictures).
We then talked for some time about what it would take to make an adapter. He said it was possible, but was it worth it??
I'd like to fit Koni's if I could get an adapter.
Does anyone know of an adapter??
Is anyone interested in an adapter if I were to get some made?? Note: I'm not sure at this point how general purpose an adapter can be made.
For years I have needed these. Early 964s take a different rear shock mount. They even have a different bolt pattern. I finally spent time with a friend that has a CNC and we built them. They bolt up to the late style rear shock mounts so you can use them in an early car. They are thick so it compensates for the shock height difference.

I don't think they actually make them anymore....that's what I've heard.
I.e. they've been on back order for years.
You need to talk to a Bilstein approved distributer. Luckily the shop I had my PPI done when the car was up in Canada was a distributer so I told them what I needed and they worked their magic. This was less than two months ago by the way. Just talk to Bilstein USA and they should help you out
Hey what suspension do you have? I like the way your car sits
I'm running Standard Suspension dampening adjustable coilovers w/camber plates. It's a Canadian company, so you could catch a good deal with the dollar difference right now.

Thanks for the heads up Doppelganger.
Given the limited availability of shocks for the earlier cars...
If I understand this correctly, this spacer would allow you to use any shock on an earlier car.
