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?

Yes, assuming the strut types are the same (Boge 914 vs Boge 911) QUOTE Are the Koni struts that much better than the Bilstein ones? I like the Koni, they are adjustable. There are many here that prefer the Bilstein's. Put the same brand front and rear and you won't go wrong with either. QUOTE And last, do the rear Koni struts have adjustable spring seats like the Bilsteins? Yes they do but I believe the Bilstein have more grove for a wider adjustment range. QUOTE Jon Jim |
