Whats the best way to lower the front of a 914? It sits too high in the front, and needs to go down an inch or 2. Thanks

I was thinking along the lines of sandbags, but wanted to check to make sure that's a reasonable direction to take. Thanks for the link RJMII.

sand bags do work, I prefer pouring concrete in there...it forms up nicely.

OK guys lets be serious!~!!

Lower it by adjusting the adjuster nuts on the torsion arms and install a bump stear kit. If that is not low enough you can pull off the adjuster arms and reindex them and adjust the lowering nuts again. when you get it so low that you loose your shock travel you can do as shown in the link above, lowing the spindles.

Thanks!! I'll take a look at it tomorow. Theres a few things i need to order, and i guess i'll order the bump steer kit as well.

Just looked at the bump steer kit, and i'm 100% sure i can make that. Does anyone know the measurements on the spacer for the steering rack? Thanks

Are you sure that the rear springs aren't sagging making the front look too high?

Weather it is, or not, the car sits too high for my taste
