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? |

Here is what I am trying to inform you, not low low but stock/lower than what you have now; I had what you have and just paying it foward...
This is bilstien allaround, 2nd from bottom rung on the rear and 1/2"-3/4" lower than the rear in the front... 4 wheel professional laser allighnment (a couple times now..ouch!)- I say ouch so that maybe you do all of your suspension at once and then get a pro allighnment once and save some $$$ If I remember correctly I am approx 5 3/4" off the ground from the rockers.... no bump steer and I can go into driveways and dips without issues or concern realy.. oh the tires are 205/60 not 195/65 so there is thatto consider in the picture, but the wheel wells are definately filled in nicely even with the lower profile tire, if you go /50's than there goes that.. ![]() |
