Default 997 gt3 suspension

I am having rattle sound on the front left side. Most likely its the bushing in the PASM shock. I have to change the OEM front shocks or go aftermarket and change all 4.

What is the aprox lifetime on the stock OEM springs? The car has 80.000km. Never done any upgrades/replacements to the suspension/ front rear axle.

Will the bilstein B16 damptronic be a good replacement?

Maybe 1-2 half trackdays a year only. Countryroad is my favorite

If it were me, I'd do it in this order if money was a factory.

2 new front shocks. I know you only need one, but I always change these types of things in pairs,.

Aftermarket be it Ohlins, JZR, Moton's, etc......

I would skip the Damptronics but that's just me.

They are about $1100 each new. I'll sell this for $300, so you can save a grip on the pair.
