My 74' 2.0 came equipped with Koni Yellow adjustable 7 years ago. Don't know details on springs but VERY stiff - thinking 180lbs or more. Indy quoted 6K for compete suspension redo (koni/coilovers, bushings, etc). He then recommended an Option 2 where I keep existing Konis when he realized mine are adjustable, and just replace the springs with lighter and replace all bushings. Also mentioned something about trailing arm shaft? Total for option 2 is +/- 1,500 - 1,800. Both quotes seem very high to me but I frankly don't know. Indy is new to me and by all accounts very knowledgeable and reputable. Feedback, thoughts, recommendations appreciated.

discride sound! maybe its something simple and you dont need a complete rebuild.
how many miles on car? you want a softer ride? 6k and $1500 to $1800 for Trailing arm shafts, on top of the other stuff seems pricey to me and thats where the bushings are to begain with or 4 of the 8 anyway $9300 K for suspention rebuild I think you can anwer that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) NEXT good luck |

I'm sorry - i see now where my post was confusing regarding the costs. The 6K was for a compete suspension - shocks, springs, bushings - the works he says. The 1500-1800 was for an Option 2 which included only springs and bushings, trailing arm shafts.
Creaks/rattles are very noticeable at low speeds i.e over speed bumps, in/out of driveway, etc. Not noticeable under other driving conditions. The ride is very harsh however. 46,000 miles on car. Not looking to auto/track. The existing Koni's are about 8-10 years old - probably 12-15K miles on them at the most. Indy did say that bushings are shot all around. I don't know what that means or how many. We had a brief phone conversation - nothing in writing yet. I think I spent about 3-4K for Bilstein PSS10 suspension set up on my 993 hence the surprise at the 914 estimates.
