Time to educate myself on the rear suspension, it seems that the rear springs and shocks have quite a bit of options. Also seems that rear springs are the way to lower the car (seems obvious when I type that) and will have a big impact on ride stiffness.
Is there a way to tell what spring you have, maybe starting with ride height? Are the springs unique colors (common on Alfa’s) to make identification easier? Thanks! |

QUOTE(914Toy @ Dec 14 2018, 08:03 AM)  What is the factory rear spring rate for the 914-6? Somewhere near 50 lb/in. Could even be as much as 60 lb/in. --DD |
