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? |

My front Bilsteins were seized and made for a horrible ride ,car was a pig to drive ,replaced with Boge Touring light gas ...what a change .
Don't trust anything used as it could be fine @ the time and turn to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) after that,only a matter of time. The engineer in me says to keep the old ones inserts and check out why they don't work as the ram shafts are in fine condition,I will look forward to doing that. Boge stuff is fine and not too expensive however I seem to remember the rear ones are hard to find?. Good luck. |
