Do new struts need to be used when upgrading to bilstein HD shocks, and if so are the bilstein struts recommended.

Thanks,

When you buy a set of Bilstein HD's, you'll get a new set of shocks for all corners. No need to buy anything else.

Follow up question. I have a car with H & R springs but stock shocks (I know.... bad combo - it's the previous owners fault). Is there any other shock available besides the bilsteins? $1400 is a lot of dough for shocks...

But if I hafta - I hafta..

I'm pretty sure the answer is "no". Koni doesn't have anything for us anymore.

Welcome to Porsche ownership. The slope can get mighty steep!
Did you check with ViperBob on price?

You've got the OE M030; but I'll bet they're $1400 also. Call some dealers.
