shock valving

[r lane]

I am tracking a 78 911. I have Sander torsion bars, 24 front and 32 rear and am considering new shocks. I have street Bilsteins on it now. When I built this car 4 years ago it was a street rod and I pulled these shocks out of my used shock barrel. I have upgraded the motor, and am getting more comfortable with the car and pushing it harder. I am amazed at how stable she feels considering the used shock situation though coming down Road Atlanta's back straight you notice a bit of a wobble and float. I think some of that is wind induced. I am thinking of going either to the B8 Bilstein or to the RSR set up front and rear. I would like to try something and might find out that I should have stayed with what I had. Would appreciate your input on this subject. Thanks, Bob

Im have no listing for B8 for 911 or 930

the best off the shelf for your use is the MS shocks aka RSR
35-587743
35-587736

These are coilovers w/ uni ball bearings

For best results have them revalved w/ a digressive stack that matches your setups weight
