996.1 gt3 suspension parts

Don't really know what to call these but the lower brackets that the drop links connect to on the strut bodies.

Does anyone have a part No or link to where they can be bought ? Parts catalogue only lists a complete damper.

Also the locking rings, are they available or is it a case of buying generic 2.25" ones ?

hi mike,

I've got a few spare sets of what you need but need to keep them close because I look after a few similar cars, I'll ask mike S&C for parts numbers and get back to you...

Thanks Ade. Rears are complete, just fronts I need.

Hi, I have a set of used ones available with new lock rings and spring perches if required ?

The ones Mike had couldn't be freed from the dampers, so Just incase anyone needs these in future:

They're available straight from Bilstein Germany via Dave Masters at Bilstein UK. I was told Bilstein use an identical part with the Porsche part No and P in the triangle removed but they arrived today with the part No and triangle untouched, they're only £21.50 + VAT each (Porsche quoted £55 + VAT but couldn't give an availability date) !!

Spring perches are only £5.65 + VAT and the lock rings £5.25 + VAT, so I ordered them too via Dave
As mine were a bit knocked about looking.

Anyone have any contacts for the H&R Springs or are they Porsche only ?

Dave Masters is a sound bloke ! !

Suspect springs will be Porsche only. But they're not overly expensive.

Thanks Slippy, I need to give OPC a ring and price them I guess.

Yes Dave's a nice guy, I'll probably send the dampers down for a refurb before fitting them.
