Looking for performance upgrades? or for stock-replacement parts? and specifically; struts? or bushings? or? there are as many parts, and which part we're discussing will impact the answer.

Ahh...True..stock parts it would be the rear Wishbone,and control arm's, I have the clunking over the bumps and Iam doing the axle's so I thought I should do these as well..? Thanks and sorry for the confusion,..Frank

I think TRW makes the suspension parts for Porsche. Their aftermarket parts are of excellent quality. You may need to pony up a few extra bucks for them, but all in all, worth the premium. Given when I can buy TRW parts, I will over other brands, but that is a personal preference.

Meyle can sometimes be hit and miss depending on the parts themselves. I've had a few good and bad bits and pieces over the years and on different makes/models, so not specific to only Porsche. Some members on the forums like them, so your mileage may vary. Having said that, they aren't terrible, so just make sure you buy from a reputable vendor with a good return policy should you need to return/swap parts.

+1. I recently replaced my rear track arms with TRW. I was pleased with the quality for the price point and they have, so far, fixed the issue.

bcrdukes is right on the money. TRW manufactures many OEM and factory Porsche parts. If you can find the TRW part numbers, it is easier to hunt them down on the web giving you a big discount over Porsche.

The Porsche Motorsport's electric steering pump is a TRW part that goes into Vauxall's at quite a savings.

Meyle is hit or miss.
