Those are the alloy S calipers on Koni struts. They are different than "M" struts in that they have 3.5" spaced caliper mounts as apposed to 3" on the 914/4 or "M" strut. The inserts for the 914/4, 911 "M" Boge or Bilstein struts will not fit the Knoi struts or vice versa.
I am looking for a set of struts with 3.5" spacing. Bilstein preferred. |

Call Jason(DR Koni) at Paragon and ask his opinion as to whether they will or will not fit.

Check the struts to make sure they're straight -- even gap around the wheel stub/strut.
....the used set I bought was bent (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I drove it for a little while, but I couldn't get the front aligned at all (too - on one side, too + on the other). I broke down and bought new. |
