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? |

its an 11mm wrench and a tape measure.
I measure from the front bottom of the rocker cover to the ground. Reach underneath and loosen the adjuster bolt and the car will lower down...no jacks needed...you need the car resting on the ground. You can change your ride height in a short amount of time. once it looks like you want, you need to get a new aligmnment done. Rich |
