Yeah, I know, but lots of 914 mouths to feed and I'm probably not the only one to be curious.
I'm sure there are some new-in-the-box ones floating around but anyone have success with buying used ones? How to tell that they aren't all used up? |

When I converted to 5-lug years ago, I bought a full SC front suspension which was a great deal. Of course many of these come off junked cars. Lo and behold upon installation some time later, we found one of the strut housings was damaged though, so it became less of a great deal. Definitely have to carefully confirm condition.
