The Bilstein rear shock has a ring to adjust the height in steps.
 Pictures from PMB website In order to increase the accuracy of the adjustment one would have to install those threaded adjusters which are sold as coil over shock kits (even though the 914 rear suspension is coil over shock by design but that is a different discussion...).  The question is this one: Is there a threaded adjustable setup that can be used with my set of Weltmeister 140lbs progressive springs which fit in the standard perch (to my knowledge)? Seems to me all that would be needed is a perch that could fit on that adjustable nut, or am I missing something? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Interesting solution.
It looks like the stock spring OD isn’t too much larger OD than the “race” springs? Nice to see the picture since I don’t have parts right in front of me. |
