964 coilovers fit 993?

Technical question; if coilovers from a 964 fit a 993?

From the appearance of both coilovers on Google searches, the front ones looks like it will fit. The rears seems a bit different, where the rear stabilizer bar attaches to the rear shocks, unless that stabilizer bracket on the shock can be purchased separate? TIA!

As you say, fronts are much the same, so likely compatible; rears are a different story: apart from the roll bar bracket, I suspect the coilover length could be different

Yup. Front end of 964 and 993s are the same. Rear is completely different.

They are not the same .
964 10mm , 993 12mm .
Simple fix with a washer sleeve .
Some manufacturers make a kit for 993 , and sell it as 964 and supply the washers .
Not sure if bilstein do this with the fronts nowadays , but they never used to .
