OK,
I am a bit envious. Seems that many of you have figured out how to purchase springs and shocks for the rear of the 914. I have found myself going to different web sites being completely confused and as a result looking at all of you with envy. Shocks, Pegs......Lucky! The 914 rubber guys have 150lb springs, no shocks. Various sites have Bilstein's and then a few have an 'adjustable' gas shock called KYB. I found some 'racing' sites with 500lbs springs and then many options - mostly indecipherable. I need some couch time, here is what I am looking for. I have a mostly original '74 2.0 with a blown rear shock - that blown shock is original, which I am sure comes as no shock. The car seems to be a couple of inches lower than stock, I would like to have it ride a bit higher Other than that, original safe performance is all that I am seeking - What would you recommend? Spring LBS capability? Vendor? Approximate costs for estimates? Thank you! |

Bought a pair rear shocks last February and it was ship last Feb. 18 in Pompano Beach, FL and it was in LA facility by Feb. 23 and should be delivered on my door Feb. 25. Well after several follow-up from me and the seller, USPS said it is at the Bell Garden facility.
Well never got them and no more update what happen to my shocks. Until now still show on the tracking status the same info that the item is still within the Nerwork faciltiy. Shipping cost $65 for it and it just went MIA (missing in action)! |
