Can someone recommend where to buy replacement shock s and struts I’m looking for the most comfortable ride not knife edge handling Since I’ve gotten back into 914 s I’m seeing coil over rear setups being sold now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) Should I be leaning towards that or just replacing the stock stuff ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) And what kinda budget should i plan for ?$ ( I already know I don’t have elephant racing type money $ ) * Attached image(s) |

About to purchase replacement shocks and struts. Finally replacing the KYBs the PO installed. I don’t see anything but Konis available for struts. Does Bilstein make struts?
I still have to stock springs on the car, but I have a box with nearly new 100 lb weltmeister springs that I plan on using. They measure ~ 10” unsprung. Will the Koni’s minimal height adjustment (compared to the Bilsteins) allow me to lower the rear enough? Is mixing Konis in the front with Bils in the back a bad idea? Leaning toward Konis, but worried about the limited height adjustment for the rears. |
