Where ?

[Frenchy]

Apart from OPC where would i buy new suspension for my 86 early offset Turbo ? not looking for hard core performance stuff just something along the lines of original and maybe a tad lower.
Also looking for a set of front disks, OPC are silly prices.............................Advice appreciated as ever []

Bilstein Inserts approach

sensible cost, top quality, will suit the OE setup of the car....

I fitted these and im plenty happy with them, however if you decide to buy from this seller they don't actually have them in stock and I had to wait just over two weeks for them.

Hi Jim

An alternative to the spax option is to use Koni adjustable units, you'll have to do a little modification to the front structs but it's not hard and is well covered in the instructions. I did mine 3-4 years ago and it transformed the car, a fresh coat of Hycote yellow on the original front struct casings and they looked good as new.

Any thoughts on these?

 

[944 man]

I was considering them for my Turbo. They were cheaper on eBay (from the same vendor), but theyve just gone up by £100.

Andy, be careful not to start one of those mock threads, which are solely for the purpose of informing the serious minded 944 enthusiast community.

James
whats the weighing process indicating? I ask because I plan to "Centre Gravity" my car, it means a trip to GB but I just fancy having it really well set up.
I am just not sure if I should uprate the M030 (20k miles) which is still in A1 condition. I guess KONI's are not my fave' brand, and no doubt there is a harshness to high frequency, low amplitude, movement.
Maybe its not bad enough to warrant replacement....but then maybe if the geometry is going to be so good....its a pity the shocks are not as good.......[8|]

George, every one seems to be singing the praises of KW's, Chris at COG is a suspension god though not cheap, i quite like my MO30 !
Regards the 220 suspension i will just be going with something near standard as the car is pretty standard, all the hardcore stuff goes on to the Turbo S though i am sticking with MO30 (As Porsche intended)
Regards Jim.

Jim, Understand the logic, those 220's were lovely comfy things with heaps of grip as a result.
Perhaps I will just do the same on the M030
Olli's Bilstein initiative had me thinking though....
