Hi Folks,

I am trying to decide what shocks/struts to install in my 94 945. Any suggestions?

Definitely want to upgrade from the mushy stock shocks but not sure I want to go all the way to Bilstein HDs... I run Bilstien HDs in my 91 245 and like the tight ride but they are stiff and am considering something a little softer and cheaper for the 945.

There are several negative comments posted about the Sachs Advantage shocks (inferior Mexican production?).

And quite a few comments about Bilstein Touring shocks having improper sized fittings which make the rears knock.

KYB seem to be copies of the OEM ride, so not really an option.

What's left then? Bilstein HD for big money or poor qualtiy Sachs for less money...

Nivomat?

Thanks for any input.

FYI: Am planning on installing IPD saybars and new bushings also.

Bert
