Bit surprised that the Bilstein’s don’t come with dust covers for the shocks ... do you re-use the originals ?

Nice! I definitely agree with what you're saying about matching spring and shocks. Plus you'll be able to set the height exactly how you like.

Only bought it around 2 months ago .... done a full suspension / brake overhaul on it . Already had exhaust / front mount / injectors , 290 bhp . He works for me and also is a semi professional paint Detailer . He’s paint corrected / ceramic coated around 4 of my cars . Porsche is being done this weekend coming

Fronts come with boot covers, it's the rears you have to re-use the bumpstop and boot cover.

If not, get onto who you bought them from / Bilstein.
I am not sure if OEM ones will fit over the damper on the fronts, someone might be able to clarify here.

To be fair I’ve not removed everything, I’ll take a look later and I’m sure they are in there
I asked the same question when I got mine. Apparently the don’t come with dust boots anymore and they don’t need them.

Front dampers are inverted, so doesn't need a bumpstop (it is internal and hidden), so probably correct about not needing boot covers, I would see if OEM ones fit if you want to cover them.
As above! When I had mine rebuilt they sent back the old insert and I noticed the bumpstop was internal

It’s already been answered but it’s part of the damper on the fronts. You DO need to use the oem one on the rears though as well as the plastic dust cover. I’ve been running mine without a dust cover on the fronts for a while now and they’re fine.

Another bit of the puzzle arrived a few days ago . Pretty much doing a full suspension refresh on it now !

Had the Porsche paint corrected and ceramic coated . Pics don’t really do it justice . This is the 5th car I’ve had done by the same guys . Impeccable job as always and very reasonable costs .

Bilstein’s
Track rod ends
Drop links
Ani rotation links
Dog bone bush
Top mounts
All fitted and a health check from rentech ... which was all ok
Only driven it back from them up the motorway but very positive so far . Think I’ll raise it just a touch but I’ll see how it feels first on a proper drive
