If they lasted 25 years I suppose that isn't bad. Edited July 6, 2020 by DRD Amend Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jim F Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Any thoughts on how old these shocks might be? Recal-R 2548 shocks. Needless to say they're no longer on the vehicle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yarm 783 Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) I decided to go with Koni Classics, standard springs at they front (stayed with Lever Arms at the back, though with 20 weight oil to slightly stiffen them). The car rides great and I am very happy with the set up. Incidentally I went back to 165 x 15 (Pirelli) and the car is very progressive now in terms of handling, instead of the PO’s thicker tyres grip/ spin arrangement. I’m not going to stay with a Boxster, but then I don’t want to! Edited July 7, 2020 by Sill Gap Problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
