Rear strut

There's a lot of new vs old style 964 rear strut confusion. My car is 90 - old style.

New style 964 struts or 993 struts will fit "older" body with proper adapters, I bought mine from Jeff @ Rothsport



Here are some details:

Newer 964 struts are similar to 993 with exception of upper mount. 993 uses 4 studs 964 uses 3 (which are different from older 3 pattern ). So for older 964 easiest and no brainer way - go for 993 rear struts + adapters.



Here are spacer measurements for reference:





Side view of 993 top:



Order - what parts go on the strut (also see Bilstein documents below):




Here's mounted spacer with 993 top mounts:



and comparison to stock rear strut assembly (with Eibach spring):
