Having owned my '94 993 since 19 years, the only suspension work I have had done is replaced the front wishbones and all 4 dampers ( 10 years ago! )
I would now like to replace all the suspension rubbers myself to freshen it up.
I am aware of jackals forge and his excellant write up. Are there any alternatives?
Does anyone know of any kits available to replace all the rubbers?

Thanks

Obvious suggestion is to get yourself over to 911UK.

I went for standard bushes and not polys, likewise on the front lower wishbones, as I put in FSD's I didn't want to suffer from overly stiff suspension as some had experienced on Bilsteins, and wanted to retain similar to the OE Monroes - which FSD's did perfectly.

A few years ago I replaced the springs on a 993 rather than the shocks

made an amazing difference and interestingly the technicians mentioned that so many owners replaced the shock absorbers but not the springs and the difference v the cost was cheaper than new shocks
