I also have new Koni Red's all around and have looked (although a meeger effort) for coil overs without avail.

I would be interested in adjustable perches. Especially if I could utilize the two pairs of Weltmeister springs that I currently have.

I will keep an eye on this thread. Please pm me if you have better luck than I.

thanks

How about Tarret Engineering?

I contacted Coleman. Thanks for the link!

Here is what I said:
Enquiry: Is your ""coil over kit 5"" compatible with koni - red shocks? Application 1974 porsche 914


Reply:
The inside diameter of our shock sleeves is 2.04 or 2.08. If the Koni shocks are about .010 smaller then the I.D. of the tubes they will work.

My suspension is completely assembled. Does anyone have the O.D. of the Red rear shocks lower tube? I will be by my car tomorrow night and will mic it.

The Rear set-up on 914s is already a Coil-over set-up, Are you looking for Adjustable Perches?

Posted by: d914 Jun 2 2010, 09:13 AM

yes sorry, adjustable

Check with Rich Johnson, member name is "a914guy" here on the site. Great guy, very friendly, very helpful. My setup came from him.

I have the Coleman setup on my car, but they have to be machined to fit. A guy I work with bored mine to fit for a six pack...

Bump for Tarret Engineering. I have this kit and its adjustable for height and works with Koni and Bilstiens. I went with 150 pound springs but other rates are available and the price is fair too.

call Ira at Tarett. he is friendly and knows what will work

Posted by: JmuRiz Jun 4 2010, 09:51 AM

I have the same setup from him, VERY nice...along with his boxster calipers up front. He lays low, but offers some cool bits.
