Well I am looking to upgrade the shocks on my 75. I autocross at least once a month and seldom drive it on the street anymore. I intend to do the trailing arm and chassis stiffening this winter as well as a 5 bolt conversion. The car currently has the boge front struts. Question 1, are the 914 front strut inserts compatible with the 911 units? Are the Koni struts that much better than the Bilstein ones? And last, do the rear Koni struts have adjustable spring seats like the Bilsteins?

You can get the threaded collars from ground controls for both the bilsteins or the koni. I've been running the bilsteins on my car for 15yrs. The nice thing is you can send them back to bilstein and have them re-valved whenever you need for less than a new pair costs. The front inserts for the 914 are the same as the 911, as long as they are both boge strut housings. Let me know if you need help. BTW, have you all moved in the new store yet?
