Can someone tell me what would have been the original color of a 1974...I am assuming black but wanted to confirm...
Front strut housing
Rear springs
Rear shocks
Thanks
Full Version: Color of shocks etc
Simon,
It depends on which your 914 originally had for Shocks & Struts/Inserts
All Springs were black AFAIK,
Boge Shocks/Struts/Inserts were black or dark gray,
Bilstein Shocks/Struts/Inserts were kind lime green (yellow nowadays),
Konis Shocks/Struts/Inserts were reddish-orange,
.... & the Koni & Bilstien inserts made for Boge struts were their respective colors, but hidden inside. It was/is common to "upgrade" from the softer stokc base lever Boge shocks/inserts - to either Konis or Bilsteins (KYB are white & stands for Krap IMHO).
Most 914s came with the base stock Boge set-up.
Hope this helps!
Tom
