How much are you looking to get for them? How much better the stock are they? They certainly must be better then what I have since they are the ones that came in the car in 1973.

Hey Jay,

I attached a picture of the KYB's. They are definitely firmer than stock. My dad has them on his red 914 that he uses for car shows and an occasional autocross. I personally liked them but I needed to go with a more adjustable shock for my track car. I will PM you a price. Here is the manufactures info on them:

KYB Gas-A-Just Shock Absorber and Strut Assembly
App: 1970-1976 Porsche 914
Part #: KG9003
Notes: KYB GAS-A-JUST SHOCK ABSORBER, SOLD INDIVIDUALLY -- Gas charged; Monotube construction; Ideal as a replacement for an OE monotube or as an upgrade from a twin tube shock, this high pressure double action shock absorber automatically adjusts to driving conditions for incredible gains in stability, handling, control, and ride comfort; Perfect for vehicles with radial tires and for those driven to their performance limits; With KYB's limited lifetime warranty.

Thanks,
Steve

Thanks Steve! Now all I need to do is order some for the front. Koni is having a crazy sale right now, so I should be able to do this all on the cheap. Do you have any seat cushions that are in decent shap? I don't want to mess mine up since they are so nice.

Cool Thanks Jay,

I will check for seat cushions first? What color, black? Mine might be ripped but I will see, I never put them in the car when I restored it.

Black would be best, but not as important. They can have a few small rips in them as long as foam isn't pouring our of them. I just need some beater cushions.

Just bought 5 fuchs and lug nuts for a nice price today. I love it when a plan comes together.
