Default WTB: stock shocks

Does anyone have any stock shocks in good condition that they'd like to sell? If so pls send me a PM.

The problem is "good condition' - those stock shocks do not last very long, so you will need a set with say less than 15,000 miles.

Just about every set I have done for a variety of 993's have had weak if not totally worn shocks. I have never taken off a set of ones that turned out to be OK, and that is overs several sets.

Best of luck!

Cheers,

Mike

Where did you get the factory euro suspension? That might be a better option.

Give one of the popular 993 vendors a call - Darin @ FD Motorsport. He'll be plenty of help.

Another option is Carnewal.

As TCS said, going Euro (ROW) is a far better option. US cars came with Monroe shocks which most will agree isn't so great.
