These are $750 shocks from the Porsche dealer. Chance to make an excellent buy on a used set. Appear to be in great shape with a few dings. What I have on the rear of my car.

Thanks for the info on these. I just bought them. Any tips on the install or are they an easy straight bolt on?

Thanks again, I've been thinking of doing shocks for a little while. I have a 4cyl, any spring recommendations?

@tsvo

I believe thd general consensus is the stock spring rate is 100 lb. I’m sure there are several venders that sell very similar products. I bought my 100 lb springs from 914 Rubber.

I think stock springs were ~60-65lbs.

Looks like you scored on the shocks! Gotta love the 914world community and things like parts alerts.

There are a few good threads on spring rates. I was reviewing the one linked below recently…

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=95741

Based on this I am going with 100# springs for street use.
