Default New shocks

After 28 years and 137,000 miles, I treated my 1995 Carrera 4 to a new set of Bilstein B6 shocks. Ride height lowered about an inch, from US mandated SUV height to ROW. What a difference. It now rides like a single piece of fine German steel. Should have done it years ago, as many on this forum have said.

Wow. Better late than never I guess.
At 140kmiles I just put my second set of coilovers on with equal results.

Do you guys change out bushings and such? I’m still stuck collecting parts. I keep thinking, “while I’m in there…” 86,500 on my car now. I have the coilovers. Stuck on which subframe bushings to get, which rear control arms, etc….. I can’t wait for the tea for,stove experience. This car handles no where near as well as my first 993 that was lowered.
