suspension

Post by Racecraft76 »

Can anyone tell me where to get bilstein front strut inserts and rear shocks for the 914?

If you have part numbers or further info that would be great.

I would consider other makes and options if they are easier to get. I just need some decent suspension as the KYB shocks which are currently on it are on thier way out.

I'm pretty sure I got mine from DemonTweeks. Find out the part number from I think pelican parts site, phone up DT and reference the part to see if they have it. I'm pretty sure this is how I got mine, they had em in stock too if I remember right.

Hello there.

Unless wedded to four bolt wheels, it would be much better invested in 911 struts etc..

That said, I have a pair of new/as new Bilstein inserts somewhere..if you are not in a rush!

Kind regards
David

How much would you want for them and how second hand are they?

Replaced front stut inserts. Managed to get a set of Boge inserts for £84 from GSF. Car now rides great (even with KYBs out back).
