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? |

I bought a used set of 911 struts and lucked out since they came with good pair of Koni adjustable shocks. If they do start to fail at some point then rebuilding them is an option if they are quality Koni or even possibly Bilstein shocks.
KYB are very poor quality so I wouldn't buy them new or used. Jeff B |
