Rear shock absobers
Hello.
I will have to replace my rear shock absorbers on my 996 c2 -02
Iv looked around a bit and found a set of koni with adjustebel damping..
Have anyone had any experiens with this?

I recently attended a PCA tech session at Bilstein HQ. These guys are obsessed with Quality Control...very Porsche-like. I recommend you cross shop their products before making a purchase decision.

Bilstein and Koni are both excellent choices. For koni, the yellow "sport" is the only way to go- FSD is not that great from what I've heard.
I prefer the koni since I like to be able to adjust the rebound damping. Towards the soft end of the adjustment range, the konis are more compliant than the stock m030 dampers were. But as you increase the damping, they become very firm and sporty. Being able to bias damping front to rear also helps adjust the car's handling towards under or oversteer.
I've had them for probably 6-7 years and 40k miles and they are holding up great. They feel as good as new still.

I would change all at once unless the fronts had been done before. I just changed mine all around and went with Bilstein B-4’s all around. Too soon to comment but the initial impression on the drive home from the shop is a smoother more connected ride. I had 2 leaky rears so that’s why I did the change. Same car, ‘02 996NB. Mine is a Cabriolet. Good Luck!
