I also have new Koni Red's all around and have looked (although a meeger effort) for coil overs without avail. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I would be interested in adjustable perches. Especially if I could utilize the two pairs of Weltmeister springs that I currently have. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

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

thanks

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.
Regards,
Lary

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?

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.

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