another bilstein question - 1978 SC
 
HI Folks

wanting to replace the rear shocks on my SC, currently green ones installed so i guess they are bilstein.

few questions
do the HD suit the 911 - I found a good deal somewhere but don't want to ride with off road shocks :-)

what is the correct part number for the original green bilsteins? F4-B46-0169-H0. ?
cause these seem to be heavy duty and this is what the bilstein website says
HEAVY DUTY (HD)
For most vehicles including full-size sedans, SUVs and trucks. These shocks provide improved handling and stability without
sacrificing ride comfort. They offer super damping ability that makes them ideal for heavy hauling for occasional off-road use,while maintaining an exceptional “street” ride.

I don't plan to do any ofroading with my 911

drive save

Kurt; Even if you don't purchase from our host, the information you are looking for is there and in the "Search" feature on the forum

Welcome Kurt!

I changed the inserts on my Carrera to Bilstein HD ('standard') all around. Works very well for me, but I do not track the car.

HD, as they are called in the US, is what used to be on the turbos, no offroading stuff.

If you drive a little more aggressively and don't mind the harsher ride, the Bilstein Clubsport are excellent. They don't seem to be available in the US.
