Hi , I am new to the 914 ownership, just bought the car from member KADUKU !
The rear end of the car is kind of very soft, I guess the rear shocks need to be replaced, what do you guys recommend for street use . The car is a 1973 with a 2 liter engine. Thanks |

I did it myself with boge's and 100 springs and dropped by my local mechanic and he compressed the springs for no charge. Took him 2 minutes.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) This is what I did. Just make sure your control arm bushings aren't shot. Otherwise all for not....... doesn't matter what shock you use. |
