Going to look at this 1973 914/2.0 next week.
Looking at this picture I am wondering if there is a problem with the suspension. Is the front cranked up and the rear drooping/collapsed?  |

Either new springs or too much beer in the trunk. 100 lb springs will work.

Front looks right, back is jacked. Generally if you follow the line at the bottom of the doors and fenders to the wheels, they will bisect the center of the wheels. I believe that is approximately stock height. Front is correct, back is too low for some reason. Needs eyes on to figure out what is going on.
Is that the Carolina squat on a pick up truck? |

Old 914 rear coil springs can sag, new 100lb springs are good.
My opinion, keep the rear low and lower the front to match. |

Thank you for the quick replies. I will take a look at the rear next week.

Check to see if the rear shocks have adjustable perches, and what height the PO set.

100# springs from 914 Rubber raised the rear of my car right at an inch.
