front 993 koni shock

Anybody know how to install Koni adjustable replacement shock insert on a Porsche 993 Carrera front sunspension ?
Will it match the standard spring (not the M033 or M030) ?

It can be done by modifying the strut tbe. But as there is not a matching rear, I would not do it. Much better to move to a Bilstein HD or H&R for basic upgrade to shocks/springs. Or if you want adjustability, consider the Bilstein PSS9 or JIC Cross. There is a very active thread on this topic over on Rennlist.

You are right Don, but the price of Bilstein/JIC Cross is much higher than Koni.

In general, adjustability for a street car is overrated. Unless you are building a track car, I'd look at the Bilstein or H&R.

You already have ROW ride height, right?
