914World.com _ FS/WTB: 914 Parts _ WTB:: Rear Coilover setup

Posted by: jaybird840 Nov 30 2010, 11:03 AM

Hi All,

After my successful (so far!) rebuild and install of my 2.7RS motor, I need to start tuning the suspension to handle the increased weight and HP/Torque. So, I'm in need of a coilover setup for the rear. I'd prefer something that has been set up and run on a six conversion so I don't have to monkey with spring rates too much. My car is a weekend driver, so track spring rates don't apply. Let me know what you've got. Thanks!

do you have Bilstein rear sport shocks already?

Koni's, I think.... Lemme check.

Measure the outside diameter of the shock body while you are at it. Some of the Koni's are the correct diameter for the threaded sleeve and some are not. If they are the right diameter then you would not have to buy shocks if yours are still good and you want to keep them.

or you could just run 180# rear springs...they will be quite capable of handling the 2.7

I had them on my 2.7RS 6 years ago and they worked great on the street and the track...they were mounted on custom valved Bil sports.
