First, I did perform a search and only Blondie's link came up.
I have several 914 shop manuals for adjusting ride height and that's not a problem. I don't like the way the front of the car seems to have its nose up in the air so I want to drop it a little, maybe an inch(?). Any big issues to doing this, like severly throwing the wheel alignment outta whack? Some day I'll want to put slightly firmer springs in the rear and have read that will lower the rear, thus I'll need to lower the front even more. Aside from changing wheel diameter, what are other ways to lower the front? |
