I'm a noobie to the 914 but not to working on Air Cooled vehicles. Are replacement springs the only way to fix the sagging rear problem?
The car already rides kind of rough but I'd like a better height in the rear and a lower agressive stance in the front, while making it a smoother ride without the roll when cornering. Any suggestions? |

I am riding a stock set up 74 2.0 with bilstien all around and 100lb. springs in the rear, it is a nice ride.. i even tried 140 lb. but forget that unless your autoxing.. anyways adjustment in front is controlled by the nuts on your torsion bars.. new billstiens are nice there too.. very smooth and stock ride.. but what i really want to tell you for the rear is if you get bilstiend (affordable) thet have adjustable perches for your stock springs, 2md fromn the bottom sets you in at perfect height.. see links for billstien rears (yellow) whihc are sold by member hwgunner on this site, he sells alot of porsche parts and you would have a tough time getting a lower price.. also is a link for front but hunt around for the best price..
