lowering my 914, some wheel work Options

[johnpierre]

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 ?

If you remove the adjuster bolt you can pop the cap off the torsion bar. Re-index the cap on the bar to give you more adjustment. Cap might be froze on the bar. When you try and pop off the cap the bar comes out with it. No biggie. Re index the bar. Do this when it's up on jackstands. Dont want the car falling on you.
