Can someone tell me if my new Koni Sport 914 front inserts will fit into 911 Boge struts. I need to convert to 5 lug hubs and 3.5 calipers.

Thanks in advance,

I seem to remember but they need the same Boge strut for Boge insert with the exception that you can buy Bilstein's for a 911 as I have , @ one time they were hard to find but haven't checked recently .Cheers.

As far as I know> when you purchase the Koni's their products list asks if you're installing into 911: Boge, Koni, or Bilstein struts...then order accordingly. Pelican is currently running a sale on Konis>>until 06.30.25, good time to buy.

I'm pretty sure the koni strut insert that fits a boge is different than the koni insert that fits a koni strut. The way I remember it;
Koni = koni
Bilstein = bilstein
Boge = boge plus koni & bilstein inserts made for boge.

Guys, I think you are mis-understanding the question.

I have the right type Koni inserts in my 914 Boge struts. These are available from vendors and are made especially to fit the Boge struts.


The question is will they also fit 911 Boge struts.

99% sure they will fit the 3” boge struts but not the 3.5”
You can always check directly with Koni.

Thanks mepstein,

That's what I was worried about. I have contacted Koni and am waiting for a reply which I will post if and when I get a response.
