This kit is comprised of the following items:
- Porsche 996 C2 3.4L 1997-08/01
- Porsche 996 C2 3.6L 09/01-2005
Complete replacement solution for both the front and rear suspension of the Porsche 996 C2 (1998-2005) - for Standard cars (none M030). Supplied as two front units (OE ref no 99634304139) and two rear units (OE ref no 99633305185), these dampers aim to restore the original ride quality, handling precision and chassis control.
Fits:
Porsche 996 C2 1998 - 2005 (Standard cars None M030)
Designed to match OE fitment, damping characteristics and durability, they provide a full-axle refresh in one kit.
This kit is ideal for owners replacing worn shocks that cause increased body roll, bounce, vague steering feel or reduced alignment hold. By renewing all four corners simultaneously, the car retains balanced ride and handling behaviour - avoiding the imbalance that can occur with staggered replacements.
Shock absorbers wear with mileage and age: internal oils degrade, seals weaken and damping changes. Symptoms include increased bounce, less responsive steering, tyre “skating,” and uneven ride height. Replacing all corners with matched new units ensures uniform behaviour, restores alignment accuracy and avoids mismatched performance between old/new components.
When to replace:
• Front or rear corners feel soft or bottom-out easily under braking
• The car exhibits excessive body motion or feels unsettled over bumps
• Tyres show uneven wear or the suspension no longer holds alignment
• You’re undertaking a comprehensive suspension refresh or preparing the car for high-performance driving

OEMatch Standard Front Shock Absorbers — Control, Stability, Comfort
Standard front shock absorbers control spring movement to preserve ride comfort, steering precision and tyre contact for Porsche models. Many owners search for genuine or OEM shock absorbers; OEMatch supplies compatible replacements engineered to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for common Porsche applications. OEMatch catalogues over 4,000 part numbers and over 8,700 OE cross-references for model coverage.
Available Types
- Standard front shock absorbers for Porsche 911, 944, 968, Boxster and Cayman models
- Front dampers listed for Porsche Cayenne and Macan applications
Understanding OEMatch Standard Front Shock Absorbers
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original shock absorbers. OE (Original Equipment) refers to parts matching original specifications for the shock absorbers and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM shock absorbers engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models. Front shock absorbers sit between the suspension springs and the chassis to control rebound and compression, keeping tyres in contact with the road and limiting body motion. Correct damping stabilises steering inputs, reduces roll under cornering and helps maintain braking stability across a variety of road surfaces and loads, so service or replacement is a key part of routine suspension maintenance.
Benefits Include
- Restores ride comfort by controlling spring movement and damping oscillation
- Improves handling predictability and steering response
- Supports consistent tyre contact to aid braking and cornering stability
Why Standard Front Shock Absorbers Wear and Fail
- Fluid loss from worn internal seals reduces damping effectiveness
- Corrosion or pitting on the piston rod and damper body leads to seal damage
- Valve wear, oil degradation or impact damage from potholes accelerates performance decline
The Importance of Replacing with OEMatch Standard Front Shock Absorbers
Replacing worn front shock absorbers helps restore the suspension geometry and damping balance your Porsche requires for predictable handling. New shocks reduce excessive body motion, help even tyre wear and relieve extra loading on other suspension components. For maintenance, restoration or vehicle safety checks, fitting correctly matched front shock absorbers maintains the intended ride and control characteristics across urban and motorway use.
Advantages
- Direct-fit replacements engineered to match original dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models
- Coverage across classic and modern Porsche applications to simplify selection
- Suitable for maintenance, restoration and road-focused use where original fitment and mounting points are required
