Also, purchased a set of Koni M030 Shocks & Springs from a TIPEC Member it turns out..!

Should be arriving this week, and wondering if I can swap them out myself..?

Currently have a KW V3 setup, which are old and need replacing / refurbishing..

Am keen to go back to Stock for comparison, may get the KW serviced in the mean time..


I'd have thought the Konis were a lot older/more basic than the KW's, and if they're the proper MO30 height adjustable stuff people usually ask silly money for what is usually tired old tat. Doubt it's cheap for a factory refurb on KW's either.

Genuine will require an extension to your mortgage

Meyle, are about the second best, the originals are made by Corteco

Got my front GAZ rebuilt for £50 a piece last year, and they covered the postage back. Lasted 9 years before needing a rebuild, rears still good after 10 years! Will only fit a lowered car though. Think I paid about £500 for the full kit 10 years ago, very good value although they can corrode a bit. Keep on top of them and they are fine and have masses of adjustibility.

The konis are adjustable coilover mo30 but not the usual rusted unmoveable ones . I had all four rebuilt by IG racing with new spring perches, bump stops and dust guards from Porsche . The only reason I took them of the car was to replace with some kw clubsport .
Just be carefull threading in the lower rear shock bolt , you do not want to cross thread that one .
Nice looking car matt .

Fairly sure the 968 rear MO30 shocks have a coil spring fitted, unlike the 944 version.

I see the bad jokes are spreading, think you should self isolate immediately

If it’s not on the build sticker who cares, have you got the big brakes to go with it?

No, but that is definitely a route I'd like to go.. Maybe later in the year..

With the M030 Koni Shocks, do I need any additional parts to fit them or will they bolt to my current setup..?

no you should be fine, I had better check to see if the top mounts are different.

I have looked in PET2 they are the same, shows they maybe available again at £303.00 each

But if you are interested in M030 Brakes, expect to spend about £2000 for the genuine stuff second hand, as the steering knuckles are different,

Porsche still have the M030 in stock but you really don't want to know how much they are......
