    I'm pretty sure that they came from the rear of a Borgward Isabella TS. I'm sure that they are really expensive, though!

    Regards

    I have a hard time believing that Koni can't tell you the application.

    Give them a call. I know it's less scientific than trying them on three different 911 geometries but, hey,,,

    Koni said:
    They are a double-adjustable cartridge-type shock that could fit a variety of vehicles depending on the attachment parts used. In other words, it starts life as a 'generic' shock.
    They suggested to measure 1) the compressed length overall, 2) the extended length overall, 3) the bolt size of the lower mounting eye, and 4) the thread specs for the upper end. Compare to a stock Porsche shock. They are rebuildable, also.
    Hope this helps.
