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. Ed |

When we engineered our springs for a "stock" setup we found the geometry suggests that 100# should be optimal for stock weights. The Factory installed 66-68# springs. This should give you the best of both worlds. As for as the shocks / struts Bilstien is the best.
