good ole Paragon Products

How could you expect the OP to do something as difficult as pick a phone and call vendors?

I could just randomly call a gazillion people OR ask a question here and hopefully narrow down the targets.

Anyways, from the constructive feedback posted above your post, it looks like Paragon might be a good candidate ...

I knew that red rears were adjustable before installation. Are the red fronts as well?

Yes, push down all the way and turn left or right to adjust the reds.

Back in February I got a set of Koni adjustables for the rear from Ground Control.

They had the shocks in stock, but I had a wait for the springs to come in.

PSI rebuilt my 944 Koni yellows a couple years ago. Can’t remember the cost but it wasn’t bad.


Just checked - PSI charged $550 shipped to rebuild 944 front sport struts

Between both of our red cars I really got locked into red! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) I have reds on my 4 and yellows on my 6. Both adjustable. I like them both. My 6 seems to ride a little better. But my six does have stiffer springs all around, poly bronze bushings and more suspension travel in the front.

Anyone want rear reds for a 911? Most definitely need rebuild, leaking.
Free + shipping

But it does depend on if I can find where I put them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Try TSM Enhanced in Arizona. Much cheaper than Performance Shock. Seems they are mainly focused on motorcycle shocks but also do automotive. Have not used them yet but called a while back about redoing red 914 koni's. Pretty sure this was the place.. http://www.tsmenhanced.net/SERVICES.htm

@SirAndy

What front suspension do you have?

914 or 911?
If 911 what year and do you have Boge, or Koni struts in the front ?
If you have stock 914 Boge struts, Pelican has all in stock.

Wes works at Pelican and can help you with an order. Contact me by PM for details.
Or email him at whuetten@pelicanparts dot com.
