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.

I changed my bushings at around 65K and the didnt really need replaced, but my car has been keep inside its whole life to...put the new 100lbs rear springs in and see if the creaking goes away ..you sure its not the targa squeaking..do you have a front sway bar? ii would try one thing at a time and see what helps ,i dont think i would do the wholesale change right form the start i think you would be tossing money..JMO
