Those aren't anything special. You should sell them cheap to me for test purposes. I know you may know and think different. But I don't mind if you let me test them out for you before maybe buying them.

the blue dot makes me think turbo cup as well?
i had a pair of turbo cup rear springs with the same blue dot that i got good $$$ for...
...i got them from you in a trade



although the "SP-250" makes me think they are just 250# weltmeister springs?

Turbo Cup spring perches has 951 numbers. The springs are not Turbo Cup and legs should be green. Atleast this accounts for euro Cup cars. Could it be 924 Carrera GT on behalf of the 937 on the perch?

EDIT - after a little search, changing what I previously wrote.

I first thought the flat horizontal brake line tab indicated these were early, pre 87 struts. The later struts typically have a vertical angled brake line bracket. BUT looks like Bilstein has carried or continued that flat feature into later production runs. So I think these look to be potentially the regular bilstein "turbo cup" front struts. Yellow paint may indicate a certain vintage. I have seen both green and yellow painted. More current production are zinc plated overall.

No factory part numbers on the struts (?), means they are not factory motorsport OE, so aftermarket replacement from Bilstein. How does that p/n match with the current Turbo Cup bilstein numbers?

The 937 perches are sized for the approx. 4.5" OD stock diameter springs, so they fit the Welt springs correctly. The M030 and 87+ Cup springs were tapered and had a slightly reduced bottom diameter and used different perches, these were the 951 part numbered lower perches: xxx-32 and -33 for bilstein and koni applications. '86 Cup springs I believe are stock spring diameter and progressive wound similar to the weltmeisters. So possible the 937 perches were used on '86 Cups, but would have originated from the 924 Carrera cars.

There are group of these 937 perches being sold on ebay right now @ $125 each, I think by John Clark out of KC.

These are designed for longer springs than cup bilsteins.

Goran, the pile of unusual parts you have stashed in your 14th century castle is always remarkable...
