Porsche Classic Green's installed ..
CT Mike -
What coil spring set was used with your successful Porsche Classic Green damper installation? .. The OEM N. America original spring set, OEM M033 spring set, or other?
My USA '98 C2S had the RoW M033 springs coupled with the stock dampers installed way back in 2000. .Here we are 22 years and 75K miles later and it's time for new dampers. . Likely going to follow suit with the Classic Greens from what little feedback is heard.
IIRC the M033 spring was the standard fitment to the RoW 1997 & 1998 Carrera S cars. This provided a 10mm lower ride height than that of an RoW Carrera. .

My 993 Targa Tip just failed its MOT due to a leaking shock absorber.
I'm after recommendations for replacements - I'm guessing the OEM part (twice as expensive as aftermarket, and probably just badged) isn't necessary.
I'm not after anything complicated or adjustable, just reliable and affordable - would love some suggestions.
For example, is this is sensible replacement: https://www.design911.co.uk/fu/pt385...Koni-standard/

Will be having it fitted to mine in the new year.
