Spring / strut combination
The rear suspension of my car (986 base) is now apart. I'll fit the 987 knuckle and have ordered new brakes and suspension arms to go along with it.
So now the attention goes to the spring /strut. It seems most of the suspension needs to be taken apart to replace the strut or spring, so better to do it now. It will be more expensive in the future.
From my research on this forum / the internet it seems the M030 suspension is the right combo of not really lowering the car, but firming it up. A few questions on this;
- Will the 986 springs fit the 987 struts (which I need to go into the 987 knuckle)?
- There are different color code springs for the M030. I assume mainly due to slight weight difference of the cars. For me I guess the Boxster S 6-speed springs would be right. (I will move to Audi V8 with 987 6-speed gearbox, should be close in weight to Boxster S?) Any other thing to look out for on color code?
- Strut wise, Bilstein B6 or Koni Active?
I will need to mix and match a bit due to my car not being a base 986 anymore. But I do want to stay at something which is nicely balanced, hence the detail questions.
