Springs, shocks, struts, Best set up for a street cat? Options

[EJP914]

Looking to replace these on my "73 1.7 and would like some opinions on what is the best combination for a street 914. Car will not be autocrossed or tracked.
Car has original shocks, springs and struts and it tends to lean quite a bit in corners and "floats" over humps and bumps in the roads. Thinking this can be done better.
Thanks for the opinions.

KYB's are generally hated here...
also referred to as "kill yer back"

I like bigger springs personally... I'd go with 140's
the front sway bar makes all of the difference.... don't expect great handling without adding one....

buy performance brake pads... ceramics... no sense having better handling without better brakes at the same time... and how old are your tires?.... performance tires will wake these cars up

KYBs, at least the white ones, are complete trash.

I love Bilstein's in everything I drive.
For street, stock front sway bar. If you cant find a stock one then 19mm aftermarket. 21mm is overkill, I have one in my autox car and im starting to think its to large even for that.

Rear sway bar you can live without (I prefer without)

Rear springs 90-100 with the stock front sway bar 140s with the 19mm bar.

If ride comfort is your primary concern dont overlook control arm bushings. They are a PITA but 50 year old rubber isnt rubber anymore. Absolutely DO NOT go single piece poly on those as they will bind.
