A while ago I changed the old shocks on my '70 914-6 from the teeth rattlers KYB and ??? to Koni sport yellows and I find these new yellows are too hard even on the soft setting for the around the suburbs driving I usually do
I originally asked my longterm suspension guy for Koni classics as they worked very well on my 2.2 S but he said they were NLA for the 914s. Does anyone know if the Koni classics were ever made for the 914 and if so what is the correct part numbers F & R ? in case someone has these NOS on a shelf somewhere Alternately are there any Bilsteins or Boges - I prefer the traditional brands - that correspond to the Koni classics for a light car such as the 914 ?

Appears that way,you could sell off your Koni struts to a 911 guy and go to Bilstein yellow all round,ride nice and not to spendy for a good setup. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I like the ride and handling of Bilsteins. I used Konis in my stock autocross 914 because on the fast transitions of an autocross the stiff setting of the Konis were a substitute for the stiffer sway bar and springs that I couldn't use in that class. Other than the adjustability to adapt to changes in suspension, or different autocross courses, I'd choose Bilsteins. |
