914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Another shocking question

Posted by: n2j2ryan Dec 20 2018, 01:16 PM

So, if I go with the Koni sport rear shocks, do I not require the coilover conversion kits to lower the car slightly (<I inch). Can I stick with stock, uncut springs?

no they have an adjustable spring plate with them.

But they are soooooo expensive. Might have to sell my 2.0 SS heat exchangers!

You can use the stock springs with the Koni rear shocks.

The rear shock have grooves cut into the shock body for the circlip that hold the lower spring perch. I think you get 3 height setting to choose from, not a lot of range.
