What's prompted this Brett? Old suspension worn out or is it an upgrade? Just gone down the same route on my 944, but waiting on geo next week before making a judgement. Cheers, Beyan |

Hi Beyan I had a broken spring and knew my shockers were at the end of their life.... As Paul Anderson (928 Guru) has a special deal on at £1200...for all 4 corners including setup and geo it seemed to be time.... I like my 928 low and hard (think 2 inches clearance under front spoiler) for my nitrous runs, but I think the worn shockers are making it a little too hard... Will let you know once fitted..... All the best Brett

Hi Brett, Nice to see Paul is living up to his reputation. He's only about 30 minutes about me, so would be handy if I manage to get enough cash from selling my 944 to get a 928. Does he also sell them? How's the car handling now? Is the difference quite marked? Cheers, Bryan |

Hi Bryan Yes Paul usually has a few 928s for sale It is quite suprising to me how much better it handles, its still low (my preference) But as an example, if I let go of the wheel now on a flat road it would NOW carry on in a straight line effortlessly... Where before although I didnt realise it I was constantly correcting on the wheel.... Its also smoother particularly over bumps, potholes etc.... Very very different to be honest. Although as my previous shocks were the originals (1986) they did last well.... Worth doing if your shocks are original... All the best Brett
