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 ?

Nothing wrong with stock Boge/Sachs shocks for everyday style driving.

Already have the fronts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I took KYB's off and went with the Boge/Sachs, Like them. One thing to be ready for is when you go from KYB rear Shocks that have the lower spring Saddle build into them you will need a pair of stock lower Spring Saddles as the Boge/Sachs don't come with them. I bought mine from DCAUTO.COM |
