I got the bilstein sports for my 6th 914-2 liter last summer at Mr. Shox in San Diego.
I never liked Koni and had 5 sets on 5 different cars. They were unforgiving, and I think the gas strut seems to have fast reaction times to changes in pavement. The Bilsteins are firm without shaking out my fillings. I am 220 lbs, and the car does not go down at any corner with my full weight on the fenders. I also got 140 Weltmeisters at the same time. I think the whole set - shocks and springs - was 500 plus shipping. The Bilstein sports lowered the car about an inch all around. I further lowered the rear by measuring and lowering the torsion arm adjusters to 1/4" Then I put in turbo tie rods and new balljoints and had the car aligned. I have deliberate negative camber in the rear. It drives like my old go kart around any turn. Could not be happier. The front strut inserts are green and the rear shocks are yellow, and the springs were black, just for reference. The regular Bilsteins are not as tight. The owner was AMAZING and nice. John |
