hey everyone (at least here in los angeles). i want to lower my 73 a little, or at least explore the idea. i want it done as best as possible, i.e. ride quality, steering geometry etc. does anyone know of someone or a shop (here locally) that i can trust and that has plenty of experience doing this on 914s. i also want to strip the paint on my rivieras, and repaint them, i suppose that would just be any paint shop right ?

You can buy some Bump Steer spacers also. This will allow you to lower the front by maybe 1/2" to 3/4" depending on how your front is now. You can find them on-line at Weltmeister I think.
There was a great write-up ona website that is no longer maintained. Frank |
