I need to replace all struts on my 2006 997 Carrera C4. I drive rather normally and do not track it. Looking for comfortable ride with minimum cost. Please jump in. I am overwhelmed from a one day brake fluid flush gone 6 week viral. Thanks!

You could just do the OEM struts, which are Bilstein B4. For something that's much better, go with Bilstein B6. If you plan on lowering the car at some point, then choose Bilstein B8 (basically B6 with a shorter length).
Do you need just the shocks/struts or the springs also? Mine were completely shot, so I had to do everything.
I went with Eibach Pro springs and Bilstein B8 and couldn't be happier

Replaced my fronts with Bilstein B6's Damptronics (PASM) 2 weeks ago since one leaked.. No issues.
Difficult to really to say anything as yet but then I'd be comparing a new "sportier" strut to a 15 year old oem version.
I'm going to do the rears shortly as well since they too are 15 years old.
Ride height is unaffected.

Here is a good thread on installing them with pics.
