Thomas, thanks for the info, that is very helpful.

I have B6 shocks installed on my '82 SC, it is also lowered and I get a "clunk" noise periodically that I have believed to be from the shocks. These are new shocks installed last year and suspension was adjusted lower at the same time. Through this thread and my own research I have read that since my car is lowered that I should be using the B8 or the Koni 8210-1159 (reply #12 from shoooo32).

According to years of PP topics on the clunking phenomenon, it is generally believed to be the shock bottoming out when going over more harsh road bumps on lowered 911's.

Can anyone confirm that these other shocks will eliminate the clunking noise?

Also, I have not be able to locate a B8 rear shock. Does Bilstein make a B8 shock for the rear? I have found the Koni's easily, so sourcing them is not an issue.

TIA
