Thinking about replacing my shocks with the original boges/sachs and springs too. Any suggestions on where the deals are?

Thanks,

Tod

Sometimes you can get a deal on used koni's or billys and spirings, it a step up from stock. If I was doing it I'd spend the coin on the good stuff, it's worth it.

Any shop or FLAPS that deals with worldpac can get the stock shocks.

I just received an email from Paragon Products that they have Koni on sale through June. I believe that Koni raised their prices late last year and I wonder if they realized that didn't help out their sales very much.

If for some reason Tod wants to pass on the Boge struts, I may be interested if they are valved for a 914 vs 911.
