What shocks are you running in the rear?

Unless you are going with a crazy high end setup Konis or Bilstein are pretty much the only viable option in my opinion (stay away from KYBs)

I would match the fronts to whatever you are running in the rear. Bilsteins in the rear have more adjustability as far as spring perch height, not as much of an issue if you are running stock springs or a full coil over setup but may be needed depending on what springs you are running otherwise your car winds up looking like its on stilts.

Hi James,
The car has worn out old KYB's on the back and not sure what on the front until I replace them . I am probably spending to much already on this car but it's my baby now and I always try to treat them right , It's also my first 914 after admiring them for years. I don't plan on racing or auto crossing it but I do enjoy spirted rides in my local mountains here.
Do you think the adding the Ground control is more than I need?

I will still be able to adjust the rears and will be purchasing Bilsteins .

I don't want stilts or too stiff of a ride so would you have a recommendation on what size /brand of coil over springs to purchase ?

I did recently purchase a set of Koni's with springs that were used from a member here for $50 but think I will just offer them back up for sale later as I want all new now .
