I'm installing a set of rear Bilstein shocks and a set of Weltmeister 140lb springs in my car.
The Weltmeister springs are shorter then the stock springs. So the spring moves all around between the top and bottom spring holder. I haven't put the car down on the ground yet but I'm assuming it will set properly when I do. My question is do I need to worry about everything seating properly? Will the spring seat correctly in the top and bottom spring holder every time I raise and lower the car? Thanks Chris. 1972 1.7L Porsche 914 1973 2.0L VW Thing http://www.cassidy-online.com |

How do I attach them using the zip-ties. Should I drill some holes in the spring perch?
Also the car had older Koni shocks on it. I'm not sure of the order of the parts. I looked at the service manual and it is not 100% clear. There are no supplementary springs either. Should I get some? Thanks Chris. 1972 Porsche 914 1973 VW Thing http://www.cassidy-online.com Attached image(s) |
