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 am very happy with Billsteins for my street/DD car.
I stuck with my stock springs. I highly recommend replacing your springs "while you are in there" as I have noticed some sag in the rear of the car. I'm going to pick up a new set of springs to be installed next time I drop the trailing arms. For a street car I think 80-100 lb springs with a good set of shocks is a nice setup. |
