Oh my. Well what type of use? Street/ Track/AX/DE, a mix of all? Do you have any other upgrades or OEM?

What do you have in there now?
Are you planning on an upgrade or update? If so there are lots of options. Koni's would be the way to go for a 67 that you want to keep fairly original.

If it was me, I would put Koni struts with Koni sport inserts. That's what I did on my 71. Newer style stronger ball joint on '72 and up struts, and externally adjustable shocks.
Only problem is Koni struts have 3.5" caliper spacing, so you would have to also upgrade to alloy S calipers and 20mm thick rotors which is what the S had. Or you could go with Bilstein struts off a 74 or newer 911. More money, not adjustable, and you still have to upgrade your brakes and ball joints. But if you like Bilsteins... Or what a lot of guys do is get the newer (SC) Boge struts. With those you can choose what insert you want and Boge struts are not to expensive. You still have to upgrade your brakes and ball joints.
