I am looking at these parts. Anyone know if they will fit a 968?

Original Porsche Motorsports struts and progressive rate springs. F struts: 951-343-031-32/-032-32, F strut mount: 951-343-018-30, many other smaller parts on full F strut assembly. Cannot locate Motorsports part # for springs. R shocks: 951-333-032-04.

Fronts look like 3 way adjustable koni fronts. Rears look like Bilsteins that are 3 way adjustable. From the looks of it, they should all fit. You will need to buy springs for the rears. If the rears are 2.25 id, I have a new set of springs that I bought and never used.

Rob- There is no way these will fiit- so instead of you losing money I'll take them off your hands.... I can send you my stock struts so you are not left stranded........... How is a case of homebrew and a PS cooler- I am removing all your stuff! really !!!


All kidding aside fronts look right like Raj says but the rears look bigger..... IMHO-

I have 951 front struts on my car so those definitely work. And afaik all 1987+ rear shocks are interchangeable.

The rears pictured are Koni's as well...the adjustment sticking out of the side is the giveaway.

There you go, the man has spoken himself .

Why are the rear shocks so dinky compared to the front struts on our cars? I would think that w/ roughly equal weight front and rear that the dampener sizes would be about the same as well...

Trevor, don't forget that the rear has torsion bars as well .

The guy selling them wants $1000 and he points out that these are extremely rare as they are the actual racing set up Porsche sold for the 944 Turbo Cup cars. If anyone is interested, I will put you in touch with him. I could only go $500, so I am out.....

Anyone buying these should also factor in the cost of rebuilding them, which could easily be close to another $800 or so. Now you are into KW territory. These are extremely rare, not sure sure how much that should add to their value.

Raj,

You are correct, I contacted Truechoice to get a quote and it come in at around $800-825 for the rebuild. I think the reason that anyone would buy is: rare and actual Porsche Motorsports parts.

Mike,

Let me know when you ship the cooler. I have all the other parts (well except for a few fittings) so the cooler is all that is missing.

Thanks,
Rob T.
