Hi all,
The Boge rear shocks on my 914 are worn out. The fronts are probably no better. So I need to fix this. Not sure what to do. I read Boge's are not able to be rebuilt cost effectively? I read KYB are harsh (but price looks right). I think that leaves Bilsteins - but with Bilsteins replacing original Boges do I need anything special to make them fit? With some guidance from Forum members I'll know what to buy - and will then place a WTB ad on this forum (or suggestions where to buy are most welcome too). Many thanks in advance DaveO Australia |

The car and the shop look great. Spend just a bit more and get sachs/boge, billstein or koni's. I had KYB's. They are harsh riding, not at all like the stock boge shocks. I had them on my first car and again on another that I purchased years later. I still have a set but they are only used to make a car into a roller, I will never drive on them. Its really worth the money to buy the good shocks.
Ive never had springs that were still on the car turn out to be good. |
