I am trying to figure out what to do about my suspension. I want dampening adjustability and height adjustability. I am not very familiar with products for the 914. If it was any other car I would go with something like Tein SS or H&R etc.
What coil overs do you guys use? Any full coil over setups available? (Threaded shocks not sleeves) Should I go with a koni shock threaded sleeve setup? I have a budget of about $800 give or take. I would like to get a new torsion bar too. Does it make any difference if I am doing a 5 lug conversion from a 911 in the front? Where did you get what you're using? |

QUOTE What would be the best way to reduce the ride height in the front? how low do you want to go? at extremely lowered ride heights, you may need raised spindles, and shortened strut housings and shocks.. I have a RSR front suspension, and the shock ran out of travel at the ride height that I thought worked.. so I raised the ride height 1/2" to prevent bottoming.. I plan on having the struts and shocks modified soon.. fwiw I have #450 front springs, #350 rears....Im not to worried about the front of the car beaking..the front is quite robust... with the full depth front bulkhead etc.. this is down from the "super speedway" combo I used to have |
