I cant beleive the difference. Its like a new car. I cant believe I drove 3 AXs with those old leaky Boges. Had to re-adjust teh ride height down. Cant wait to flog it at Willow (w/ma Yokos)

coincidentally...i just got my bilsteins a few days ago and installed them that same day...unfortunately the 914 is once again in non-op time again...

Cool!

I will be re-installing my newly blasted/painted/upgraded front suspension including Bilsteins tommorow and hope to start, and maybe finish, the rear on Sunday.....

i think mine are still original one is totally shot and squeaking like a mother! and i have my money tied up in some other stuffs..... but when i do get the money i am going with Bilstein's bc i assume they are pricey

i was fortunate and got my rear set for only $230+$15s/h from Chad here on the forum...

if you think bils are "pricey" DON't shop Konis!!!

Koni's will cost you a couple hundred++ more than bilsteins... give or take

which are the best then?

from worst to best
KYB
Boge
Bilsteins
Koni's

you forgot KYBs ... all I've ever had so far, they are pretty terrible

i dont know much at ALL about suspension....my jeep had leaf springs which sucked bc you felt like you were on a waterbed with kids jumping on it ALL THE TIME....the porsche is better somewhat, can still feel alot of stuff....

does Bilstein make a kit to lower your suspension I want to drop about 2" off my car

Buy the Bilstein or Koni shocks (they have adjustable perches), and/or 165lb (or 140lb) rear springs to lower rear, and adjust the torsion bars to lower the front.

thank you once agian you guys are on the money just found what I needed
