So I have heard about these factory option green Bilsteins, although I have never seen a COA or window sticker specifically listing them. My 74 Bumblebee car has them on the front, but not on the rear. I have located these two pics of a front and a pair of rears.
The rears don’t appear to have any bottom spring perch or any way of supporting the springs, and they look skinnier than the new black Bilsteins I recently bought. Anyone have the vintage green Bilsteins that can show how they support the rear springs? Can the old Bilsteins be rebuilt? Are they as good as todays Bilsteins? |

Jeroen....
You are correct. The 911 didnt get ABS until 964. Those are the BRAKE PAD warning sensor brackets. The 84 Carrera had brake pad warning sensors lights in the gauges to let you know when the pads where getting low (at least in the USA). ABS sensor came to mind first. Chris, Contact me offline. I'll give you the contant information for Bilstein. The rebuild prices are fair. B |
