I have a feeling I should renew even though shes only done 34k I think 10 years is long enough. Any feedback on what shocks to go for appreciated. Everything else is standard and am keeping standard ride height etc. ??

Interesting thread.Have been thinking of getting my suspension looked at. My beast is 8 years old, 56k miles and I had a feeling at my last Goodwood trackday that he was wallowing a little/washing out on corners.Also I have a possible "rub" noise at the rear when I go over speed bumps or mount the (slight) kerb outside my driveway.
Question: whilst I know that the accountants muscled in a little on the 993 build, resulting in Monroe shocks for the standard cars, for instance, I thought the turbo models had Bilsteins. Am I wrong?

Thanks for the info, Maurice. A great help.
Looks like a raid on the piggybank, then.

I have already convinced myself to go for the Bilstein PSS9 kit when I change the shocks, having the adjustable ride height and damping is an advantage. Everyone I have spoken to who have had these fitted said the ride quality also improves aswell as the handling benefits.
