Shock absorber rates?

[IanMcLeod]

Hi.

Can anybody tell me what the shock absorber rebound and compression rates front and rear are for the Bilstein Sports that would be fitted to a 72/73 911?

I got some good recommendation s from Paul @ Tuthills on shock settings.

He also has details on their custom spec Bilsteins

I fitted these :

Bilstein ‘HD’ front inserts ( 150/110) for BOGE struts which are meant to be really well suited to a road going early 911 with stock 19mm torsion bars, At the rear I opted to stick with my original 23mm torsion bars but chose Bilstein Sprint ( 310/155 ) yellow shocks

Thanks James.

I am trying to replicate the rates of the Bilstein Sports that came off a car I really liked driving hence wondering if anybody knows what the Sport rates are. Or does anybody have a table showing the different standard rates for Bilstein, Konis, etc?

If I have no joy I'll phone Bilstein UK and see if I can get the information.

I understand that the rates on the Bilstein sports are 160/127

Good Luck Wynne

Thanks Wynne.

Is that front or rear? I am guessing fronts.

I am also looking to buy some Bilsteins shortly, I wonder if people would be interested in a group buy?.
