Dudes:
I took the 914 out and washed it today. Also took a few pics while it was clean and out of the garage. I will try to attach a pic here, but am not sure it will work. Do you guys think it's sagging in the rear? I've looked at other pics of other cars and they didn't seem as saggy. Do I need springs and/or shocks? Thanks for any thoughts. Andy... Attached image(s)

Nice looking car... I think the others have said it. Drop the front. It'll only take you about an hour. Drop the front a little bit with the torsion bar adjusting screws, take the car for a ride to let the suspension "settle in". Repeat as necessary.
A tip: Remember, when adjusting the torsion bar screws, that dropping the front left, will raise the rear right corner of the car. It works on a diagonal axis. {nit-picky mode on} Hey Rocky... those are 4 bolt Mahles. Only the 5 bolt versions are considered "gas burners."
