I am swapping out my original rear coil springs for new 100lb springs from 914 rubber. I was reading through the factory service manual and found out that my springs are from the Group 2 and Group 3 stiffness via the 2 and 3 green dots on the coil. The service manual states there are 3 different stiffness options. I wonder if all the 74 1.8s came with this spring option or if it varied. Per the service manual it says they were suppossed to be matched in pairs but from the factory I have no idea haha. @starbear @wonkipop

Yep; mine has factory front/rear sway bars.
Checked my records and indeed replaced shocks and springs in 1990. Doubt mine have any markings but will check when up in there doing an oil change this weekend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
