Per title, need a set of front & rear shocks for my 2004 GT3. Will be lucky if I put 500 miles on my car this year and will be only street miles. Next year I will spend the money on a good set but really just looking for a set that do not leak as two of mine decided to do over the winter. Thanks

How soon are you looking for these. I'll be replacing mine soon. They have 54k on them, but not leaking.

I have a set with around 25K miles.

Thanks for the replies & PM's. Burger, with so little time to drive this year I am in no big rush. Trying to get a value on the used stock ones and second guessing it's a good idea to put 14 year old shocks on that may do what mine just did.

The stock shocks are rebuildable, but Bilstein isn't doing them anymore. As an option, if you can find someone who rebuilds Bilstein on the side, that might be a decent option to avoid going aftermarket.

Good! I sent Bilstein 4 shocks for rebuilding and got 3 back with a fourth empty box.

After 9 months of trying to get them to fix the issue I gave up. They were impossible to deal with.

I have a set as well, 600/800 spring rating with valving to match. they were rebuilt at about 30k miles and I took off the car at 45k and replaced with Ohlin as I was driving more on the street and these are harsh.
I am thinking $500 + shipping. In box and ready to go.

OP I have a set if the others don't work out. I just put Ohlins R&Ts on my 6GT3. I can get specs from my shop just shoot me a PM if needed. Cheers

Hello rodneyer and, DFWCanuck,

I am interested in finding a set of shocks also. Won't get in the way of any 9caregiver deal , but would like more info on those that are available. What is stock spring rate anyway?

Thanks, feel free to pm.
