Ok, so I bought the front suspension off a '77 911 that has bilstein shocks. What are the replacement options? I have been looking and I can't find anything other than bilstein shocks.
Does koni make a replacement shock? I had wanted to do koni sport shocks front and rear.
If you have to replace the shocks with bilstein can you use bilstein sports on the front and koni sports on the rear with no adverse effects? I have not seen a bilstein sport shock for the 914, is there one?
Help!
By the way I just looked to see where my car is and DAS is reporting that it is Wyoming, might get it much sooner than expected. |woohoo|
Buy an ass dragger instead, that's what you really want any, isn't it? How about "I stuck a mid engine in my 911". Now that would be something!!

i believe that there are ONLY bilsteins available for bilstein struts...
same with a koni strut - only a special koni insert will fit...
Boge struts on the other hand has tons of options...kyb, koni, boge, bilstein, etc
the fact that it has bilstein shocks doesn't mean you have to have bilstein struts...
could very well be boge struts, in which case, you can also get koni shocks to fit
there are no dedicated 914 front sportshocks from bilstein

Once I get the struts in hand I will post the part number. All I have right now is the following picture. They are on their way from the vendor now.

that does have all the earmarks of Bilstein's tradmark green OEM strut...
