So, I have a set the above mentioned Bilstein struts for my six conversion. While I would love to do a few track days once finished, this will not be a track car. Additionally, Michigan roads are pretty rough. I therefore don't want to venture far (or at all) from the factory spring rates.
Recently I watched a video where a guy was lamenting about the Bilstein struts he put on his lightened 911. He alleged that they were far too heavily damped. And, this was in California where the roads are rather smoother than frost/thaw ridden MI. What are all 'y'all's thoughts? |

Shown was my 74 I put a fresh 1978 911SC full front suspension in it that was almost new. This had the under-sway bar. I ran it that way for a while with a turbo 2.0 T4 Eng and with the real gas burners and P6 tires as shown, it handled great and felt really good over the bumps. All I can say are great things about it. I loved that car! This crappie picture was in Ensenada Mexico when I took a trip with two friends and from Los Angeles. She sat in the middle.
This picture was from 1981 or so the 78sc front end had Bilstein struts Best Bob B ![]() |
