914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Rear shock additional springs NLA - what r u using?

Posted by: tod914 Sep 30 2011, 07:41 AM

Replacing the oem rear shocks on my car with Boges. Seems the 914 333 053 01 additional springs are no longer available. Is there a Koni part or other substitute?

Thanks, Tod

I have used both Koni and Boge Front bump rubbers placing them upside down on top of the rear shock. Koni makes a nice foam bump stop but like all the front bump stops they are made for the larger diameter front shock shaft and won't attach to the upper shock washer for the rear shock.
Not ideal but functional.

Even back when the rear bump stops (additional springs) were available they were about $70 each.

Thanks for the info Jim. Have a leed on a set of used ones.
