That is sweet. Thanks to all for your help.

loot97, I have Bilstiens all around on my 92 turbo. Want me to try and see if there are part numbers on them?

I work in Broomfield, and live in Fort Collins, so I drive right by the exit on 25 for Lyons, I could even swing by and let you crawl around underneath getting the part numbers.

Thanks Bill. I think between Johnny and Drew, I've got all I need. Besides, mine would look pretty dirty compared to yours.

You'd be surprised. I haven't washed mine in a while, and its been making the commute down to Broomfield with me. I bought it to drive.

Well, I haven't gotten to drive it enough with all of the snow. Makes me want a 993 AWD.

Glenn at Pelican confirmed the rear part numbers above in the thread.

I recently looked at shocks and springs and found the same as you guys, the bilstein part numbers are the same for NA and Turbo cars. I found www.shox.com the cheapest.

I think H&R springs do a special part number for the 3.6T but most spring manufacturers (eg Eibach) only do one set of lowering springs (drop about 1-1.5 inches).

However, referring to Adrian's book, USA spec turbo cars have 20-30mm higher ride height than the equivalent ROW cars (mine is ROW). Therefore, I do not know if the H&R springs offer 1.5 inch lowering on the USA or ROW height (eg it either lowers USA spec cars to ROW spec or lowers it about 2-3 inches in total) so this is worth checking with the H&Rs. I am getting Eibach springs which are a common part for NA and Turbo ROW models (which have same ride height anyway according to Adrian's book) and will lower it 1-1.5 inches less than the ROW (or about 2-3 inches less than USA)!

Cheers

If I am not mistaken; the turbo H&R springs are red and the non turbo are a different color.
