I'm starting to get my parts in and they seem to have the right colored dots. RS Wishbone 993-331-041-81 with green dot and Stock KT Arm with yellow dot 993-331-045-03.

Suspension replacement
Hey guys!
As I'm finding myself with shot dampers on the front of my 993 4s '96, it's now time to search for a replacement.
The car is not driven often and not too sportive either, so I'm not aiming for the most expensive and high end setup.
I'd rather like to find the best bang for buck version, though it's not about lowest price only...don't get me wrong, I treasure the car as is, but as there will be some other maintenance work coming up, I don't want to send unnecessary money on stuff that might be to much for my needs or even overpriced in some way.
I'd love to hear your suggestions for a suspension replacement - not necessarily coilovers.
I'm based in Europe, Austria...
Thanks a lot!
Regards,
Alex

On this scenario, I'd say it may be best to consider ROW struts reissued by Porsche Classic.

Three Wheelin'
I've got a set of Billstein PSS 9's. One of the shaft seal is leaking a bit. But you can have them for 200 bucks.!!! You probably have to send them back to Billstein for a service... If you're anywhere near Vorarlberg, I'll hand carry them over and install them on your car; if I can sleep in your basement for a couple of days while I go skiing...

Looks like your front control arms are mixed up left to right?
The ball joint is supposed to mount on the underside of the control arm, not the top. So that ball joint is mounted upside down.
