Question about replacing M030 shock absorbers
I installed in my 2003 Carrera Tiptronic the M030 Porsche Sports Suspension back in 2011. Though I have only done 20k miles since them ( but on a regular basis) and the shocks are in good condition, I will replace all 4 shocks soon. From memory for the M030 996 suspension the direct replacement shocks are the BISTEIN B4 ? Has anyone replaced shocks for the M030 and if so what was used ? Anyone has used the B4s? I believe these were the ones used for the M030 as well as standard stock ?
According to Bilstein's web site the following part numbers (B4) are applicable for the 2003 996 with M030 Part Number: 22-113337
Part Number: 24-113359

B4 is the correct original shock for the 996 ROW M030. The B6 is valved nearly the same as the B4, but the B6 is a monotube shock. B6 is a very suitable replacement for use with M030 springs and sways, with its newer technology applied. Also, B6 can be rebuilt later down the road. Hope that helps.
