"slightly used pair of Porsche 914 rear springs.....excellent condition. KYB struts and Weltmeister springs. A deal at $110.00 a pair."

My rear shocks are leaking and the back of the car seems to be sagging a bit so was thinking this would take care of it all. My car is a 72 914-4 used for street drving only. I have no idea what spring/shock setup I should be looking for.

Thanks for any advise/lessons learned,

Mike

KYBs are too firm for 100 pound springs. the ride will be harsh
those 100 pound springs would be a nice upgrade on a street car if used with green bilsteins (not sport) or adjustable konis set to full soft
