Hey guys, I'll likely replace my Koni reds this winter with a new set of yellows I picked up this past summer. The yellows need to be repainted due to shelf wear. Would you sell the yellows and have the reds redone? Paint the yellows yellow.. Paint the yellows grey to match the original boges, or paint the yellows red?
Thanks for the input. |

Pat with shipping back and forth, and parts, I'm guessing it will be closer to $200 per shock for the rears. Still probally worth it. They currently have a 7 week turn around time, due to race season comming up. Trying to weigh out all my options. The vendor at $80 per, no longer does Konis; TMS in AZ.
Called up Porsche today, the factory coil springs for our cars are NLA. Want to get the old ones tested while the shocks are going out. Found a local guy, but they are currently on vacation. Just started getting my parts list together for the winter. Making any progress on Fritz? Or, are you going wait until you send him out to Ohio? |

We are currently getting "thunder snow"!The garage is 42 degrees & my old hands can't deal with it. Looks like the 914 will go to Ohio (unless I get a better offer - Scotty step in here) in March. Haven't been able to do anything because we get nearly continual snow & cold weather! Currently have a foot on the ground, with another foot coming (starte) tonight! Been a rough winter so far, and more snow is predicted. You have any snow (chuckle)?! Pat |
