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.

at the moment I'm adjusting bump on the canister and rebound with a T wrench with 8mm socket on the end through the bulkhead, the front is the same but easier to get too.

Older KWs like mine just need allen keys (supplied) to adjust bump from the bottom of the shock and rebound at the top.

How easy are they to adjust damping, with the JRZ I could do it on my own in the assembly area, do you need tools or to remove a wheel.

However, as you're racing it would be a good idea to ask Mark Sumpter at Paragon, what dampers he uses for his 964 race cars.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've sent the dampers from my 964 race car off to JRZ for a refresh, and it turns out they are fooked. they need nearly everything replacing, with a quote of €5200+VAT I'm thinking would it be better to just go for something new. I can't seem to find many prices online for anything other than KW. Can anybody recommend some? its for a race car so need to be pretty good, at least one way adjustable and good after care, as they will probably need a rebuild every year or 2. the knackered ones are JRZ 2 way pro race dampers. any input is greatly appreciated, thanks.

POST 2Original post

Not able to offer advice on anything apart from KW (which was on a 964 Targa) but I would give Design 911 a quick call to give you some options: http://design9114-px.rtrk.co.uk/fu/pt65_-cma81-cmo... However I would be inclined to stick to the known names; KW, Bilstein, Ohlins etc. As an alternative I did hear that Penske were doing suspension states side (http://shop.penskeshocks.com/PENSKE-RACING-SHOCKS-PORSCHE-PRO-PACKAGE/) Maybe the Rennlist guys will be able to give you an idea of whether they are worth it.

KW and especially the clubsport are great for track days. However, as you're racing it would be a good idea to ask Mark Sumpter at Paragon, what dampers he uses for his 964 race cars.

A recommendation for 9E right here........|Worth a call IMO

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Scooty100 said: A recommendation for 9E right here........|Worth a call IMO not heard of 9E, any more info on their dampers? Tempted by ohlins and penske as they can be rebuilt in the UK. Can anyone with experience of KW tell me more. How easy are they to adjust damping, with the JRZ I could do it on my own in the assembly area, do you need tools or to remove a wheel. who rebuilds KW? UK based? I've been told it ohlins on Mark Sumpters 964.

POST 6Original post

Older KWs like mine just need allen keys (supplied) to adjust bump from the bottom of the shock and rebound at the top. One man job + a jack to do. Rear rebound is the worst because of access to the top of the strut owing to blower motor and airbox being in the way. The later shocks I believe have thumbwheel adjusters so should be even easier.
