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 |

Go to a 914 event with lots of cars. Find a stance or look that you like and ask owner for a ride, if you like how that car handles ask them for their setup. After a few rides and questions you’ll find some similarities you can start your venture. Make 1 or two big changes first, then dial in other pieces one by one until you are happy.
As mentioned above, there is no one size fits all with these cars, we all like them different. |
