New to 914 so still learning about things like stance. It seems like the ones I've seen tend to have a rear "squat" stance and mine certainly does. Is the stance of my '73 typical?
Thanks. Can't seem to add the pics. Will try to get it attached a bit later. |

I have read that 914s delivered to the US were set up with a nose-high attitude to help them meet headlight height requirements. I don't know how true that is, though.
We do know that the stock rear springs sag eventually, lowering the rear of the car a noticeable amount. But as stated, it's easy to change the height of the front end using the torsion bar adjusting bolts. --DD |
