Is there a coil over kit to fit Boge struts?
I'm doing a coilover conversion on my 911 to fit a G50 into my car. I have the rears but wondering if anyone knew if these was a kit for the fronts specifically for boge struts, there seems to be plenty for bilstien.

My understanding is that you can not fit a coil over conversion on those struts as they are not straight. The external diameter at the top is larger than at the bottom, so you can not slide the threaded sleeve onto them...

+1 on response - I'm getting coilovers all around for my Boge-equipped car, and Jae at Mirage told me to find a pair of Bilstein struts first for precisely that reason. He showed me a Bilstein & a Boge strut (off car) and pointed out how the Boge diameter is stepped & nixes the sleeves.
