Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

I replaced my dampers with Koni FSD's - pretty happy with them

I also replaced the original springs with M033 lowering springs (same spring rate as standard, but drop the car10/15 mm lower)

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Outcome without a verified action link
Bilstein a possibility but still not sure on which ones are firmer and also supply issues.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

1995 C2 owner needing suspension overhaul including new dampers. I want a standard ride, not stiff or bumpy. Porsche Classic green ones are insanely pricy, alternatives seem to be Bilstein B6s but I have heard reports of crashy ride on 911uk. Seems to be a 'B6' and 'B6 Sport'. With delivery problems possibly on former - rears in particular. Advice welcome - thanks.

POST 2Original post

Ah yes - I'm afraid this is one of those impossible questions. One man's hard is another man's soft. Jackal chose KW3 and then changed to PSS10. Cheaper favourites seem to be Koni FSD? I have Bilstein HD and Techart springs but very old now - probably need a change, but I like it just the way it is. My MOT tester says it's too stiff to check if the Bilsteins actually work or are seized in-place. I never know if he's joking or not. Edited by Orangecurry on Friday 2nd June 11:16

POST 3Original post

Hi I replaced my dampers with Koni FSD's - pretty happy with them I also replaced the original springs with M033 lowering springs (same spring rate as standard, but drop the car10/15 mm lower) Plus lots of bushes etc replaced at the same time Edited by Burrow01 on Friday 2nd June 11:57

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Update: SCS has fitted 4 x Koni, 4 x new top mounts, bump stops, rear upper/lower arms and rebushed front arms with Superpro poly bushes. Plus various other bits and pieces. Then total alignment. Quick drive back shows car to be much better. Definitely not too hard. Getting good feedback from rear and it 'sits down' better. At least two Monroes were totally shot and the rubber bushes and top mounts in a bad way. Bilstein a possibility but still not sure on which ones are firmer and also supply issues. Koni best for performance and price. Only downside is Koni quality not as good as in Ferrari era - won't last as long. I'm happy, if poorer. Nice job at SCS.
