I've got 180 Weltmeisters and Bilsteins out back which work pretty well BUT the back end of the car is somewhat higher than I would like. If I lower it down, the springs move on their perches. Are there helper springs for Weltmeister springs?
If not, what are my choices? 1. Wire the spring to the upper perch? 2. Wire the spring to the lower perch? 3. Get a custom spring setup with helper springs and higher rate main springs "while I'm in there" Thanks and Happy New Year! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Those helper springs are for 2 1/2" ID coilover springs.
There isn't a product made to fit the stock 914 rear springs. I would open up the center hole in your top perches so they slide down on the shock rod, and zip tie the perches to the springs. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) It may be time to up the rear spring rate a little, get some proper adjustable coilovers and sell off the 180 Weltmeisters. |
