Default Are these original Monroes?
I just started my FSD/M033 install. This is the first time I have dug into the suspension. Are these original Monroes? I wasn't expecting to see a threaded spring perch.

The fronts are adjustable to a degree. The rears are not.

Not all were Monroe. My 6/94 build came with Boge struts from the factory.

Andreas, the control arms should be on the way to you as soon as I get them off.

OP -
The OE Monroe dampers used in 993 productions were/are colored medium green. Your pictured dampers look to be black??

Thanks for all the input. I assumed that the original struts had to be Monroe, I wasn’t aware of Boge. I guess a better question would have been; do these look like the original struts (and in need of replacement)?
