No worries. The Porsche Classic parts request is great, but no guarantee if/when they will reproduce/reorder something. I wasn't going to wait for them to contact Sachs or whoever the manufacturer is and have another batch of the original rear shocks made for them. I also wouldn't want to keep contacting dealers/Porsche parts suppliers to see if they have the rear shocks in stock. I doubt you or I would be able to tell any difference between a new set of the OEM shocks and the Bilstein versions. If I recall correctly, the Bilsteins were (are) considered a better shock? Really dunno just going off vague memory.
My front bump stops are gone too, but the front struts are still good. I'll add new bump stops and boots when I replace the fronts - probably next spring. Not too worried about it at the moment.
All I know is now my cab's azz doesn't sag to one side and it rides great!
Yeah, I'm still waiting, about a year and a half, for new hatch seals...
This seems to be the part number so probably the rear shock my mechanic used. I had pretty much all of my suspension parts replaced on my cab at 180k miles. It might feel better than it did when it was new (I've had my '94 since '95), if not it's very close. https://www.shockwarehouse.com/site/...-924,-944,-968
Received my roll of 3M paint protection film - going to use it to make new stone guards by using a set of new originals as templates. Thanks go to Jeff Coe for telling me he had that done for one of his 968s.
