914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Rear springs?

Posted by: A&P Mech Nov 30 2015, 08:50 PM

I am looking for a new set of springs for my car. I have PM'd back and forth with Eric at PMB and he suggested 140 pound progressive springs. I plan to purchase new Bilstien shocks and struts from PMB but he doesn't sell the springs. I have looked around at the various 914 vendors but I haven't found the springs. Any suggestions?

I'm not that fond of progressive springs, as they can change the balance of the car as they compress. But 140s are pretty good for a 914 with an uprated front sway bar or uprated front torsion bars.

GPR should be able to get them. Pelican might. Paragon should be able to get them as well.

Automotion should still sell them. Otherwise I have an extra pair that I will sell for $50.00 plus shipping. I upgraded my car to 175 lb springs when I installed the heavier 915 gear box, so I no longer need them.

I'm always a day late! Anyone else have 140 shocks or upgraded Koni shocks. Heck I'll even try coil overs?

Thread is about springs smile.gif

You already have rear coil overs, just not adjustable from the factory.

WTB Are these still available? Are they 100lbs or 140lbs? Thanks, James.
