What do you think of this shocks?

Can be considered semi-sport dampers for road and trackday?

Nobody can send me some informations about this dampers? I'm evaluating replace shocks and this sachs seems a good compromise. My first choice are bilsten but this solution is cheaper.
Thanks

Go with these:

Haven't used them, but they are well respected from what I've heard.

Aren't those sachs just replacement for original damper, nothing extra sporty?

I found this kit in eBay:

http://www.ebay.de/itm/381891820776

It seems a good price.

You might also check to see what GAZ has to offer although for long term reliability the Bilsteins might be best.

Sorry I gave you the wrong numbers, you need
Front: 34-001042
Rear: 24-001618

34-000403 is for a beetle. The 924 and beetle share the same struts but there is vast difference in weight they have to carry. For this reason the 924 has a different rating for the insert.

[chris79]

This kit and another similar in eBay have this part number, then they are all wrong?

Yes if 34-000403 is used for the front it is wrong.

[chris79]

This from bilsten catalog for 924 na:

http://web1.carparts-cat.com/default.aspx?34=0,100121&240=0&32=2974&230=29&10=E78C05CD617140F39CB6F62478947DFA018007&14=7&12=130

Both part numbers are correct.

The compression and rebound specs are different between the two inserts. I am by no means an expert on this, but the consensus between the experts are that 34-000403 is not the correct option.

Page 43 in this manual also mentions both options, so I guess as long as you buy the set as stated in the manual you should be okay.

I think the 34-001042 is the sportier insert.
