Help to ID shocks..
I took the front wheels off the 993 today, wanted to look at the brake pads, general condition of the rotors, and the front shocks. Can anyone tell me what kind of shocks these are? Are they the stock monroes?
They are black bodied with black springs. Have an aluminum adjuster ring at the bottom. They have a bellows type cover for the shaft, this seems to be loose. I'm not sure how it attaches, the top is bigger than the shaft, the bottom looks like it should fit the body. I appreciate any assistance

If you look around the base, there should be a part number - that will be a big help.

Thanks, I'll check it out next time I pull the wheel. I hoped somebody knew what the stock monroes looked like, my gut feeling is that these are stock...

The stock Monroes are green bodies (at least on mine).
Here are some pictures for comparison: http://www.pbase.com/jlsphoto/porsche_suspension_upgrade |

thanks, looks like these are not Monroes. they look adjustable, does anyone know if the Boges could be adjusted? I wonder what would happen if I backed off the adjustment, if it would lower them?

If you vary the ride height, remember that you will need to have the car realigned.
