I knew that positive thinking thing wouldn't work.

A few friends have KYB shocks, they're not the best, but they're definately an improvement over the OEM Boge shocks/struts. For the money, you can't beat them.

I'm concerned what they mean by "Except sport suspension". IIRC, the sport suspension option was the rear swaybar among other things, right? My car has a factory rear bar, does this mean they won't work, or are they talking about the M471 setup? If they are talking about the M471, I can't see why they struts wouldn't work...

I think they mean if you had koni shocks as an OEM upgrade option.
I think these are replacement for OEM boge.
The price is right thats for sure.

I tend to prefer OEM Sachs/Boge over KYB's. But, if you're not going to push them hard then KYB's should be fine.

I used to have them on my 924 NA. I would steer clear of them. The fronts were good but the rears seemed to be valved for a much lighter car, maybe a golf etc. The back was very soft compared to the front and it got me into trouble quite a few times.

when do you know its time to change the shocks ..
One side seems to make a funky sound even maybe its time I took mine off and checked them out before.. though its been awhile
Ive found gabrials shocks on 944s in the back those arent to exspensive.
