New shocks for my 993

[halfpenny43]

Here we go then - out with the old.



And now on with the new !!





Decided in the end to go for Koni FSD's and Porsche M030 springs.

Having some more work down at the same time - fixing a leaky windscreen, new rubber seals all round, new rear tyres and perhaps brake discs) but hope to get the car back in time for next weekend's run down to Essen for Techno Classica. Will let you know what I think of the new suspension setup.

Looking good, I have FSDs sat in my shed awaiting new springs and top mounts ready for install.

I'm surprised you are going M030, it seems M033 with FSDs are the way to go with them.

Aha.
One quick question, there I was ready to press go on ordering new springs, when I find out on 911.com, that there are differnt m033 spring rates, and that OPC might not realise it.
One rate for aircon, one for non aircon and finally one for a tip.
First I've heard of it, and to tell what you have is by the colour of the paint dots on the springs,
Does it really matter though I wonder?

So the specialist I am using told me that there are only two ratings of spring - one for manual and one for tip - apparently the tip springs are stiffer.
