Okay, I've got Boge struts from a 1974 911 that I'm putting on my 914 for a 5 lug upgrade but they need inserts and I'm looking at a pair of Bilstein HD shocks from a 911. Would those be too stiff for a street car? I'm thinking I've read that 911 shocks are valved for a different load and putting them on a 914 would result in a less than desireable ride especially for the street.
Opinions pleezz! Kev |

bilsteins arent adjustable.
if they are M housings.. you can put 914 inserts in them. spring for koni reds if you want adjustability. they go from caddy soft... to pretty stiff. Koni Yellows are even stiffer..... |

The deal is this:
bought the struts from some douche bag that claimed it had Koni sports that were good. When they arrived, one was leaking all over and was crap the other looks okay. Found another set with ~ 5K miles on them for $100 but they're Bilstein HD's. I've got a new set of Bils and 140# springs in the rear. Wondering if these HD's are the right choice for my car.
