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.

Hi guys, i've got a 996.1 c2 mo30 with 90k miles. Put it into the garage to get H&R springs fitted as i prefer a lower loo. The garage can't get the top bolt of a front strut so have requested I order 2 fronts. My options are
1) 2 new front Bilstein b4's.
2) Full new set of Bilstein b4's
3) Full new Koni special active shocks, the red ones.
I'm erring towards the changing all 4 shocks as i now think it might improve the car as they are old although no leaks. The Koni's might take a while to get so i'd need to get the car put back together again and wait.
Advice much appreciated.
I went through this and had
Koni special actives with HR lowering springs
with X74 geo 3-4000 mile ago by Charlie of William Frances near stowmarket, I can say it is awesome on British roads. The only addition I will go for is the H&R anti-roll bars as I feel (but can't be certain) that the lower car would benefit from a little less roll (not that there is much at all tbh).
That great to hear they are a good combo. Thanks for the info. I see Carnewal are the cheapest supplier or also design 911 do them at about £100 more. Where did you buy from and did it take a while to get then delivered?
The top nut on my nearside was a bit reluctant to come off so the way I dealt with it was some emery cloth in the jaws of a set of stilsons, to grab the piston of the shock absorber, as close to the top mount as possible, then a windy gun to crack the top nut off.
I did it with the shock assembly off the car, no issue with access that way.
