Hello,

 

My alignment shop noted to me today all four shocks are leaking.  Great.   The Porsche labeled shocks are pretty expensive..... I noticed the Bilstein models are cheaper but are they "the actual" shock?  I am not interested in improving or changing my suspension, but if there is the same "OEM" out there, I don't mind saving some money.

 

Porsche Part Numbers:  Front: 997-343-045-22 and  Rear997-333-053-30

 

Possible Bilstein Part Numbers: Front: 35-118251 OE HD and 22-147530 OE       Rear: 26-118260 OE HD and 26-147543 OE

 

Odd, Bilstein has two shocks it denotes as OE for the 2009 C2S, one is denoted HD and other not.  Hmmmm... any insights?

 

Advice?

 

Peace

Never mind... I just ordered four Porsche shocks.  The ones that came with the car are Bilsteins if anyone wants to know.  Their logo is stamped on the upper part of the tube.
